Of course I could be totally wrong (the CYA, Frank) but I don't know of any other instrument that could have made those sounds in '68.
I'm hearing tape replay cello at 0:53-1:07 and cello + strings 1:34-1:47 on One In a Million especially the last four notes in each example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOt4eqtUuLMI'm also hearing tape replay vibes that can't be MkII on North Meadow at 1:40-2:30:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4AQj8WvcOsM300 vibes are the"slow vibrato" variety according to Samagaio's book.
It would be great to hear what you and other members of the group think! Hessel?
