Ah! Hadn't spotted that. Would this be what you're after?

SELECT ... FROM
(
SELECT
t1.po_header_pk AS t1_phpk
t3.po_header_pk AS t3_phpk
...
FROM
t1, t3
WHERE
t1.sr_tran_head_pk = t3.sr_tran_head_pk
)
AS first
LEFT JOIN
t2
ON (
first.t1_phpk = t2.po_header_pk
OR first.t3_phpk = t2.po_header_pk
)

Not sure what happens if t1_phpk and t3_phpk both match different rows
in t2 or whether that's what you want.
