While the majority of the film was shot in Spain and New
Mexico, director Sergio Leone joined the crew for five days in New Orleans,
Louisiana, where some sequences were filmed. During this period, tensions arose
on set between the cinematographer [Armando Nannuzzi]
and director Tonino Valerii, but the actors, including Fonda & Hill, completed their scenes successfully. Their relationship became more intense, and Nannuzzi eventually left the film. It appears that Giuseppe Ruzzolini
came over, completed the US scenes and returned to Spain and lensed that footage as well [Ed and Wikipedia].
Armando Nannuzzi is usually listed alone for photography:
USA
Other sources have the cinematography for the New Orleans sequences handled only by Giuseppe Ruzzolini.
Two years later Leone got Giuseppe Ruzzolini to shoot the
'Nobody' sequel "The Genius" aka 'Nobody is the Greatest' (1975).
