Find the Emirps!

Question

An emirp is a non-palindromic prime which, when reversed, is also prime.

The list of base 10 emirps can be found on OEIS. The first six are:

13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73

However, due to the reversal rule, emirps are different in each base. For example, the first six binary emirps are:

Bin  | 1011, 1101, 10111, 11101, 101001, 100101
Dec  | (11 , 13  , 23   , 29   , 37    , 41   ) 

...and in hexadecimal, they are:

Hex |  17, 1F, 35, 3B, 3D, 53
Dec | (23, 31, 53, 59, 61, 83)

_{Fun Fact: there are no emirps in unary as every number is a palindrome.}

The Challenge

Your task is to create a function (or full program) which takes two parameters, \$ n \$ and \$ b \$, and generates a list of the first \$ n \$ emirps in base \$ b \$.

Rules/Details:

• \$ n \$ and \$ b \$ are both positive integers larger than \$ 0 \$.
• You can assume \$ 2 ≤ b ≤ 16 \$: that is to say, the base will be between binary and hexidecimal.
• You should be able to compute for values of \$ n \$ up to \$ ~100 \$.
• The generated list can be in base \$ b \$, or your language's standard integer base, as long as you specify this in your answer.
• Builtin emirp checks are not permitted (builtin primality tests are fine)
• You cannot hard-code the emirps, or read from any external files.
• Standard loopholes are banned, as always.
• This is code-golf, so the shortest answer (in bytes) wins.

Test Cases

For each test case, I've included the list in base b and its base 10 equivalents.

B = 2, N = 10

BIN: [1011, 1101, 10111, 11101, 100101, 101001, 101011, 101111, 110101, 111101]
DEC: [11, 13, 23, 29, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 61] 


B = 3, N = 5

BASE3: [12, 21, 102, 201, 1011]
DEC:   [5, 7, 11, 19, 31]


B = 12, N = 7

BASE12: [15, 51, 57, 5B, 75, B5, 107]
DEC: [17, 61, 67, 71, 89, 137, 151]


B = 16, N = 4

HEX: [17, 1F, 35, 3B]
DEC: [23, 31, 53, 59]

How?

bµU,ḅ⁹QÆPḄ=3 - Link 1, in-sequence test: n, b
b            - convert n to base b - a list
 µ           - monadic chain separation
  U          - reverse the list
   ,         - pair with the list
     ⁹       - link's right argument, b
    ḅ        - convert each of the two lists from base b
      Q      - get unique values (if palindromic a list of only one item)
       ÆP    - test if prime(s) - 1 if prime, 0 if not
         Ḅ   - convert to binary
          =3 - equal to 3? (i.e. [reverse is prime, forward is prime]=[1,1])

⁸ç# - Main link: b, N
  # - count up from b *see note, and find the first N matches (n=b, n=b+1, ...) for:
 ç  - last link (1) as a dyad with left argument n and right argument
⁸   - left argument, b

* Note b in base b is [1,0], which when reversed is [0,1] which is 1, which is not prime; anything less than b is one digit in base b and hence palindromic.

Cases[Prime@Range@437,p_/;(r=p~IntegerReverse~#2)!=p&&PrimeQ@r]~Take~#&

Works for 0 <= n <= 100 and 2 <= b <= 16. From the list Prime@Range@437 of the first 437 primes, find the Cases pwhere the IntegerReverse r of p in base #2 is not equal to p and is also prime, then take the first # such p.

Here's a 95 byte solution that works for arbitrary n>=0 and b>=2:

Readable:

($b,$n)=@ARGV;
$,=',';
sub c{
    my$z;
    for($_=pop;$_;$z=(0..9,a..z)[$_%$b].$z,$_=($_-$_%$b)/$b){};
    $z
}
sub d{
    my$z;
    for(;c(++$z)ne@_[0];){}
    $z
}
for($p=2;@a<$n;$p++){
    $r=qr/^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/;
    (c($p)eq reverse c$p)||((1x$p)=~$r)||(1x d($x=reverse c($p)))=~$r?1:push@a,c($p)
}
say@a

c converts a given number into base $b, and d converts a given number from base $b back into decimal by finding the first number which returns said base-$b number when passed to c. The for loop then checks if it's a palindrome and if both of the numbers are prime using the composite regex.
