Maybe they used both a theremin and a synth, for that part of the song in the original tune. And blended them together, or layer blended them together. Because when I listen to it, it sounds like two similar sounding instruments, playing together.
There are two synths used at least in fade to grey. One we know for sure, its the polymoog, because the minimoog was missing.
