Lent Nocturn III antiphons
The third Nocturn antiphons for Lent are specific to each Sunday, and not included in the Liber Responsorialis or the Nocturnale Romanum. They are, however, identical text wise with one of the antiphons used at the day hours each Sunday, and so can be found in the Antiphonale Monasticum.
For reference purposes though, I have also collected up the Antiphonale Synopticon transcriptions of them for potential use.
Lent Sunday 1 (Tone 5A) - AM 344 (Sext)
Lent Sunday 2 (Tone 4A) - AM 354 (Sext)

Sources for Matins chants
As those familiar with this blog will be aware, there is, as far as I know, no single book that provides all of the chants for the Benedictine Office of Matins.
I have been gradually trying to collate sources for the major feasts and seasons however, and this blog includes some posts collating this for particular feasts, as well as lists of sources for individual responsories (cross-indexed by incipits, feast etc).
I thought it might be useful though, to provide an overview of the key sources.
