It's definitely not Charlie McCoy. The diatonic playing is about as far from McCoy's clean, well-defined sound as you could get, and the chromatic playing doesn't sound like him, either. In fact, the player sounds more adept on chromatic than on diatonic. When he plays diatonic it's fumbly, hope-this-sounds-like-dirty-blues licks.
The album was recorded in LA, so Tommy Morgan is a candidate. The diatonic playing is consistent with the way he played diatonic on TV themes such as the Rockford Files and Sanford and Son.

Anybody know who played harmonica on the album?
