As far as the LXX goes there is some help, but not a great deal. There is
the grammar by Coneybeare, published by Hendrickson, (available from CBD),
but it is of limited value. I. Soisalon-Soininen has published most
extensively in this area, but the articles focus on very specific areas of
syntax. The problem is that in the LXX you are dealing with translation
greek. I would suggest that you get hold of any or all of the three
following volumes which have numerous articles in the area and the
footnotes will lead you from there:

Brooke, G and B. Lindars. Septuagint, Scrolls and Cognate Writings.
Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1992.

Cox, C. VII Congress of the IOSCS. Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1991.

Cox, C. VI Congress of the IOSCS. Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1986.
