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

It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.
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?

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
