So: does anyone know of any *systematic* philological study of the appearance of these term(s), both in original texts, and in translations, from Marx and Engels on, which deals with how the term(s) started to be used and have come to be as ubiquitous as they are now?
I don't know of any systematic look at this, but Kautsky used it a fair amount. In 1896, he wrote exchange on historical materialism. https://www.marxists.org/archive/kautsky/1896/histmat/index.htm
In 1902, we have the aims and limitations of the materialist conception of history: https://www.marxists.org/archive/kautsky/1902/08/aims-limitations.htm
1906 gives us Ethics and the materialist conception of history: https://www.marxists.org/archive/kautsky/1906/ethics/index.htm
And so on. And of course Kautsky wrote a monumental, encyclopedia work called the materialist conception of history, in 1927, of which, I believe, only abridged versions are translated into English: https://www.twirpx.com/file/2609994/
