Has anyone here read it? Apparently, the Vulgate and Septuagint pentateuchs have some similarities to it not found in the Jewish Torah. Thoughts? Not quite sure if this is the right category for this topic.

Just off the top of my head and without delving into my biblical sources and commentaries, I believe the Samaritan Pentateuch is one of the oldest codices of the Old Testament that we have. So, it is very important for biblical scholarship and translating the Old Testament such as comparing with other texts. I’m not sure if it is believed that the Samaritan Pentateuch was translated from the Septuagint or directly from the Hebrew Old Testament available at the time.

You mean the Hebrew Bible?
What is it about the translations of the Old Testament that are concerning you?

In Catholicism, what Jews call the Torah, we call the pentateuch, which is the first five books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. I am asking if anyone has read or heard of the Samaritan version of this and their thoughts on it.

Chuck is this what you are referring to.
Please let me know if you are lost in reading this.
Versions of the Decalogue
In addition to the two versions of the Decalogue found in the masoretic text of Exodus and Deuteronomy, the Samaritan Pentateuch preserves slightly differing Hebrew texts. Its major innovation consists in counting, as the tenth “word,” the injunction to publish the Decalogue on Mount *Gerizim – the sacred mountain of the *Samaritans (the injunction combines Deut. 11:29a, 27:2b–3a, 4a [Samaritan version], 5–7, and 11:30). This dogmatic accretion to the text reflects the notion, first attested in the Hellenistic-Jewish literature (see below), that the Decalogue is an epitome of the Law, a capsule of its chief injunctions.
The Decalogue , commonly known as the Ten Commandments. There were over 600 of them.

Just the Samaritan books in general, not specifically the ten commandments.
