Sound like a chromatic to me, too, though it could be a diatonic. Either way it sounds like first position.
I caught the lip-sychned video by chance last night on some oldies program hosted by Aretha Franklin. The guy hold a harmonica kept making these illogical wide moves or a large harmonica. When I first saw it I thought "Oh, a CBH 2016," which would have been right for the period. But further viewing revealed this not to be the case, and as I noticed the "player" going from one end of the harmonica to the other to play notes that were in the same hole, I realized that, once again, the largest harmonica available for display purposes had been pressed into service as a prop.

This clip is lip synched to the original recording.
So it's not much help to our quest to determine the instrument in question.
Does sound like a chrom to me!
