It may indeed be accurate to say that Marx never used the expression LTV.
What _meaning_ (if any) we attach to that finding is another result.
My point, though, was more simple (and independent of the question whether
M used the expression LTV): in conducting word searches one has to
remember the limitations with translations and the fact that most of the
works of Marx on p.e. aren't part of the archives yet.

I don't remember the WWW site, but do recall the announcement on PEN-L
many months ago. Try asking Iwao since, as I can recall, he wrote a post
for PEN-L relating to that question.
