Well, Terry said the fills are his here: https://archive.org/details/modern-drummer-issue-79/page/n63/mode/2up?q=dire+straits
And Neil Dorfsman here: https://www.mixonline.com/recording/classic-tracks/classic-tracks-dire-straits-money-nothing-372507
Both were there, and it's two versus one... So they are more likely to be Terry's.
Thanks for the links.
I wonder if there is the possibility that they used the same click track, the same project/tape, and put Omar on other new unused tracks, rather than replacing Terrys or starting a new project, whilst MK recorded a guide guitar part, just so it felt like it was a new recording to Omar, all whilst keeping Terry’s tracks (muted), and the rest of the band (muted) that they could then mix in together later on. Without Omar really being told or aware? A more non-destructive approach so they had more options for mixing later maybe? I suppose that is if they got Omar to do a take without any toms as well?
