q and r are emirps (see A006567) as R(q) and R(r) are requested to be primes too
3 = prime(2) is first prime for such a "construction" with prefixed/appended number and reversals
Necessarily FSD (First Significant Digit) of p is 1, 3, 7 or 9
If such a p is a palindromic prime, i.e. p = R(p), then q = R(r) and r = R(q):
Proof: q = 3//p = 3//R(p) = R(p//3) = R(r), r = p//3 = R(p)//3 = R(3//p) = R(q).
If such a p is an emirp, i.e. R(p) also prime, then R(p) is also term of sequence:
Proof: 3//R(p) = R(p//3) = R(r), R(p)//3 = R(3//p) = R(q), R(3//R(p)) = p//3 = r, R(R(p)//3) = 3//p = q.

EXAMPLE
q=3//7=37=prime(12), r=7//3=73=prime(21), R(q)=r, R(r)=q, p=7=prime(4) is 1st term
q=3//719=3719=prime(519), r=719//3=7193=prime(919), R(q)=9173=prime(1137), R(r)=3917=prime(452),
p=719=prime(2^7) is 7th term and the first where q, r, R(q), R(r) are four different primes
