If by unorthodox older JW you mean the Jehovah's Wittness Diaglot, this is not a copy of their Diaglot. Can you clarify the meaning of the description please.
Cheers,

1. The translator was originally a Baptist, later converted to the church of Christ, but disagreed about whether there was an immortal soul and when it became immortal, and left them as well, later founding a denomination.
2. He and another man disagreed on the same topic, and the denomination split again. Benjamin Wilson's group was called the Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, and John Thomas' group became the Christadelphians. It was during this time that he translated and released this Diaglott.
3. in 1902, the Watchtower Society bought the publishing rights to it, mainly because of the reading of "a god" in John 1:1, and the semi-frequent insertion of "Jehovah" in the quotations of OT Scriptures.
The Diaglott is now in the public domain.
This is from the front page of what is called the Emphatic Diaglott. The WTB&TS did have the publishing rights to the Diaglott for many years. They allowed it to go Public Domain some 10-15 yeras ago.
The E-Sword module contains only the English word for word portion, and not the Greek word for word on the left side of the English.
I have the Hard Copy of the 1942 edition, complete with the Preface by Dr. Wilson, as well as the Appendixes in the rear. So regardless of all the above remarks, it still does address the fact that the Emphatic Diaglot, whether the original prior to 1902, or the 1942 edition was a DIAGLOTT containg both the Greek Interlinear and the English, side by side. The Jehovah's Witnesses now publish their own Interlinear since 1969, so they no longer needed the Emphatic Diaglott.
There are some good statements made so far that do not need to be repeated, but I can add that the Jehovah's Witnesses purchased both the printing rights and the printing plates for the Emphatic Diaglott (1870). They published it exactly as it was published in Wilson's lifetime, with his translation in the side column. Wilson was a Christadelphian, one who denied the Trinity and deity of Jesus Christ, which accounts for his heretical translation of John 1:1 in this volume, where Jesus is called “a god." In the interlinear part, he translates “kai theos en ho logos" as “a god was the word," but in the column he translated it as “and the Logos was God." He wants to argue both ways, which at minium makes it a confusing volume. The Jehovah's Witnesses loved what the interlinear said, so they reproduced it into their Bibles.

the Griesbach Greek text is on my to do list but I'm thinking now on removing it if Wilson changed the Greek to support his beliefs
did he change the Greek or was that just the translation

never mind I forgot that I found a different source for the Griesbach text so i'm not using the Emphatic Diaglot
