Jailbreak version, more than likely a Phase 90,45 or MXR Flanger. I know Scott used the MXR Flange some. Kinda sounds more like a phase here though.
Peel Sessions - clearly the Wah and then more flange sounding on the call and response.

Supposedly his basic rig back then was Superleads, Les Paul Deluxes w/ minibuckers (he wouldn't route them for humbuckers until around the Johnny the Fox era or Live and Dangerous...it varies), Colorsound Wah, 2 Wem Copicat Echo units...one as a booster. He didn't start playing the custom until '77. So all those early albums are mini buckers for both he and Gorham which no doubts gives them somewhat of a unique sound. All that was picked up from his techs on other forums.

I saw a old video with a shot of his pedalboard once, thought I saw a Phase 100
That wouldn't surprise me either...it's got something going on there that's a bit different than a 90....why I was thinking maybe a 45. I know the old rig diagrams you can dig up show the 45 and 90 plus the Blue Box but it does sound different.
 
Great thread, big Thin Lizzy fan. going to give my orange box phasor and see how close I can get.
