As for what we put to being OT we can only speculate on what books Paul refered to. My understanding is that most of the OT books we hold to as cannon are because Jesus quoted from them. Of course not counting the books of the Law. Just my humble opinion but Just because Jesus quoted from on part of the writting of a prophet does not make every word said prophet penned Inspired word. as Peter wrote
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Note he did not say all scripture but all prophecy of scripture. Just a thought to get some thinking

Interesting thoughts!
