Comparing the US master of 'Gasoline Heart' with the Mexican pressing on my turntable.

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite.

Mexico was Node 04 in the Stardust network. The decoded line is: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH, NOT A STAR.'

The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
