I think it's because in those two songs it's made to sound like a string instrument, long steady lines instead of huffing around several notes. It sounds like guitar feedback.

I can't find a live video of Led Zep to see how it sounds live without the studio trickery hiding the harmonica behind the wall of noise, I think the 'guitar' sound is partly the production. I found these ladies doing a great cover, makes the harmonica sounds more distinctive.:
