I would imagine that when St. Peter came to Rome he brought the Antiochene liturgy with him. In either case the Roman Mass was in Greek and Oriental in origin

Ah, I see what you're saying. Yes, that would be accurate.

I like your formulation of the Byzantine ordinary/extraordinary (Chrysostom/Basil). Makes me wonder whether some of the variation we see right now in the Roman Missal might be (as I think it's always been in the East) standardized as to feast day:

Pope Gregory the Great, Pope Pius X = 62 Missal St Hippolytus = Novus Ordo (Novus Ordo, Eucharistic Anaphora #2)

I am not sure. Catholic sources seem to be opposed to such a thing because the two "expressions" of the one Roman Rite are like night and day, whereas the Divine Liturgies of St. Basil the Great and St. John Chrysostom are but shades of each other.

It would be a unifying factor, however, to combine the two, in my opinion, reserving the TLM for major feasts (extraotrdinary events), and Novus Ordo at other time (i.e. ordinary ones).
