The Torah Temimah (Mekor Baruch on Tefillah) brings the same proof.

Shibolei Haleket (Hilchos Sefiras HaOmer, 235) calls the day Lag L'Omer.

(Agav, he says that one should say L'Omer, but puts it at the beginning of
the sentence: Hayom L'Omer Yom Echad, and so on.)

I have seen the phrase written as "Sheh-Hayom . . . Lo-Omer.
