i think rüdiger lead have a very low speed chorus with about 80% depth, so the higher tones are closer to the original Knopfler tone
the guitar amp microphone picks up some reflection from the room in the 20-25 ms range and we can simulate this acoustic effect with a delay stompbox
when you separate the center channel from the original recording without master reverb, you can hear booth described effect and can test with your guitar gear setup
good luck
