Well, you can get "A Novel Representation of Lists and Its Application to the Function 'Reverse'" by John Hughes online published in 1986 which is referenced by Wadler's 1987 "The Concatenate Vanishes" and references Richard Bird's 1984 paper "Transformational programming and the paragraph problem" though I'd be quite surprised if that was the first place the representation appeared in print.
Thank you. I'd seen Wadler's paper and forgotten it.
