Lead on Carry That Weight

Does anyone know for CERTAIN who is playing lead on Carry That Weight / The End (Abbey Road)? The style is Lennon, but the playing, with all due respect to JL, a bit too smooth / accomplished. Maybe it's in the liner notes -- I've got the MoFi LP with me today, which does not indicate track lineups.

Thanks.

Not sure about lead guitar but there are three separate guitar solos. John, Paul, and George each plays one. I'm not certain of the order so I could only speculate. This came from a college course on Beatles music. What a hoot that was.

I always thought Clapton was playing on that.

They trade leads. First is McCarntey, second is Harrison and Lennon is third, then they repeat. There is an alternate explanation of Harrison, Clapton and McCartney, but if you listen closely, you'll know it's not true.
