Would any here like to see 1611/1873 Kjv with TR nd Scriveners Greek texts side by side?

The TR was an attempt to put together the original text.
As is the CT. The Byzantine Majority Text. The Byzantine Family 35.

At issue is the identity of New Testament original text.

Do you have an opinion of which Greek New Testament is the most accurate? Or perhaps a group or combination of them?

From the preface prepared by Dr. Maurice A. Robinson (published by the London Trinitarian Bible Society, 1977) of Scriveners Textus Receptus of 1894

"...Scrivener’s original text of 1894, which Scrivener had artificially constructed from various early printed Greek editions. Scrivener’s purpose was to provide (290 years later!) a Greek text which most closely could be said to underlie the English text of the Authorized Version of 1611—a text which could then be utilized to illustrate clearly the differences between the underlying Greek of the AV 1611 and that of the English Revised Version of 1881"
Scrivener’s Textus Receptus (1894): With Morphology. 2002. Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.

Although it is commonly thought that the Textus Receptus is a singular manuscript, the term textus receptus is the name given to many important Byzantine Greek New Testament manuscripts and compilations of these texts, printed generally between 1500 and 1900.

There was no singular Greek Textus Receptus text from which the King James Version was prepared in 1611.

Yes. Generally always the common reading as opposed to an omission. Byzantine Family 35 preferred. And of course always a case by case issue of a reading being demonstated to be authentic.

Known cases need to be discussed.
