Remember that יהוה is a name and not just any old word, and it was only due to a theological development which caused it to be unpronounced and had a substitution used in its place. One can see this in the LXX where we find the double κύριος κύριος employed in places where אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה occurs.

The Greek manuscripts among the DSS show usage of יהוה in the paleo-Hebrew script used where later LXX manuscripts use κύριος, so one thing that may've occurred in the earlier Greek translation of the Tanakh was κύριος יהוה, which was then changed in later manuscripts.

But anyway; no, not a mistake at the end.

The translation definitely isn't "I am my L-rd" since there is no pronominal suffix (if it had the suffix the word would be אֲדֹנִ֔י)

So conjecturing that אדני could possibly have a suffix is grammatically incorrect (not to mention the shear awkwardness of "you shall know that I (am) my Lord Yahweh"
