Yes, overdubbing. Ennio Morricone (and Georgio Maroder) are know for  
it. Oh, and lots and lots of echo. :)
Yes, there is no Eb on an A diatonic. But this was done on a chromo.  
By Franco DiGemini who was/is a flute and piccolo player with the  
morricone orchestra.

You can do the riff with a diatonic but wouldn't be able to duplicate  
the E/Eb splice. But I think a little judicious use of echo will  
'snowjoberall' a reasonable facsimile.

No, Smokey-Joe is not the harmonica world's most interesting man..he  
is the most unforgettable character you will ever meet.
