I haven't been able to find any information about that. My hunch is that Marmaduke Pickthall did it but I can't find anything that proves it. Maybe someone can provide additional information. It just seems strange that everyone today cites chapter and verse when referring to the Koran even though it wasn't originally formatted that way. If that's all true then it's an excellent example of mass brainwashing.
This link is very informative http://mb-soft.com/believe/txo/koran.htm. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to answer the question.
