Then why did Jarre play it on the MemoryMoog during the tour

?
The Oxygene 2 lead was also originally off the Eminent but he plays that too on the memorymoog,and I suspect the Flute sound was also off the ARP2600 on the original Album,but its perhaps more about convenience for Jarre on stage rather than trying to stick to the original instruments 100%,he had the freedom of multitracking a single instrument for as many patches as he needed in the studio,whilst he's done as much as he can with multiple instruments on stage to play live,I dare say its not so easy logisitically and the Memorymoog is utilised for its patch saving ability
Each synth within his set up was utilised for one particular sound,if he'd used the ARP2600 live for the O4 lead,he'd have to repatch it for another sound,or more over use another ARP2600,More convenient to program it into the Memorymoog and switch patches,its more about what suits Jarre,far easier to use another synth and patch change numerically than actually patching in a sound.
I'm sure if he really wanted to play it on the 2600 he would have,the MemoryMoog replicates those sounds just as authentically with less fumbling around
