Very helpful.  I don't know why I didn't think of trying a different position.  I'll keep that in mind on future transcription efforts.

Hi
Bob's right. The whole "intro" - from the V through the turnaround - is an A
harp (1st position). Beginning immediately after the words "Call it Stormy
Monday" through the remainder of the song, he uses a D harp (2nd position).
Oscher was already well seasoned in playing Muddy's style and sounds
uncannily like a mixture of all of Muddy's previous harp players. Good stuff
to transcribe for sure.
