@Rafa: I have done some reading on the Peshitta Tanakh (PT), but I have no source stating that the Masoretic Text (MT) differs in any wise, save with vowels and marginal notes, from the texts received from the Tannaim and Amoraim. I would be very surprised that the scribes would alter the text in any wise, given the rigour shown in copying; however, if you have such a source, I would greatly appreciate it if you would share it.
