Shlama Akhi Stephen ,
With all due respect I don't think you are correct. The tri linear targums show MT in one line of hebrew and the AUTHORIZED targum for the other. It is not showing both Pseudo Jonathan and Onkelos for Torah, but just MT and Onkelos. For the prophets it is just showing MT and the REAL Jonathan ben Uzziel. For example, Genesis 1:1 shows the first word as BERESHIT for the top line (MT) then for the lower line it show BEKADMIN (Onkelos). If it were showing Pseudo Jonathan the other line would read MIN AVELLA but that is nowhere.The English text I am not sure of. It could be JPS 1917, KJV, ASV, etc. I don't know that.
But yes the web link is excellent and JW Etheridge did do both Targums (along with Samaritan, Jerusalem and some Midrash) in his indispesnible work on the subject. Hope this helps Akhi Khabiba! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
