George Harrison's "Devil's Radio"

I recently listened to George Harrison's Cloud Nine, and I rediscovered that one guitar phrase in "Devil's Radio" (first present at about 0:29) sounds similar to a guitar phrase in the Beatles' "It Won't Be Long" (first present at about 0:26, when the verse transitions to the chorus).  I'd discovered this similarity in 2014; however, I hadn't lookt into the music back then.  This June, I learned some of the guitar phrases in "It Won't Be Long" for my Beatle Audit project, so all I had to do was learn the phrase in "Devil's Radio" and compare them.

Tonally, the phrases are exactly the same; the only difference is in the rhythm and articulation:

A few caveats on my notation: 1) these are both notated an octave higher than played, in order to avoid a mess of ledger lines below the staff, 2) for both examples, I'm not sure if the last note is specifically a half note; it might be longer or shorter, 3) there's a glissando at the end of the phrase in "Devil's Radio," so where my notation has a single C#, it's really a B slid into a C#, but the B is negligible as far as note values.

One of the other songs on Cloud Nine is "When We Was Fab," which has lyrical and musical references to Harrison's days in the Beatles.  Those references suggest that the similarity between these guitar phrases is intentional rather than coincidental.
