(I apologize in advance for not answering your question.)

I always get uneasy when I see questions about when an instruction was
*first* available.  There's no assumption in Principles of Operation that
once an instruction is introduced then it will be on all following machine.
I know that in general it has worked that way in the past, but there's
always a possibility that, say, an EC-type machine will introduce some new
facility and then a later BC-type machine will be released without that
facility.  I don't know why you're asking the question, but would it be
better answered by inspecting a facility bit stored by STFL(E)?  If not,
well, again I apologize.
