And the *visible difference* between a Tor node and an open proxy, is what,
exactly? Other than it's harder to put a sniffer on the other side and see
where the traffic inbound to the proxy is coming from?

Well, by default, Tor doesn't allow port 25 out of exit nodes. In
this case however, not only has the operator opened up port 25 out,
effectively making it an open relay, but he's actively sniffing and
publishing exit node traffic - apparently under the misguided belief
that it makes him appear terribly clever.
