There is a listing of original MkI and MkII leads/rhythms/fills at mellotron.com.  Look under "Products", then under "Tapes".  Oboe is not listed for either model.

Thanks, Frank - dunno how I missed that one! Anyway, have the info now from
two separate sources.

Aye,
surely any oboes were inside Gabriel's wee mouth,
not the mellotron...?

Andy,
There's also a listing on David Cilia's website which also has some 
really good photos and stuff - really nice site:

ps I agree, no tron on Musical box just organ and fuzzy-pianette.

Dear all,

I know I've asked this before, albeit a long time ago, but is there a 
list of the original Mark II sounds around anywhere? I've tried all the 
main 'Tron sites, but haven't been able to find anything yet. I'm sure 
I've missed something really obvious somewhere, but I don't seem to 
be able to find it...

I've had someone write to me claiming that there's Mellotron on both 
the studio and live versions of 'The Musical Box' (will this Mellotron 
madness never end?), and I disagree (naturally), but he's claiming 
that there are oboes on the Mark II.

Yet again, help!

Andy T.
