The BBC got back to me and they do not have the Alan Freeman show from November 26th 1977 in their archive, but that's not so important now.
Having checked through a lot of Alan Freeman's Matrix H broadcasts, all I found was the We Will Rock You (slow/fast) track from session 6.
Although the broadcast featured Phil Manzanera in Matrix H, it's now clear that the Queen session 6 track was not part of the quad sequence.

Four Queen album tracks were played by Jonathan King on January 2nd 1978 (part of that broadcast was in Matrix H).
These tracks were from the "News Of The World" album and not from the 1977 BBC sessions.

The four "album tracks" played are listed here - See Jonathan King Rules on January 2nd 1978.

I have requested the track listing for this Alan Freeman Matrix H broadcast on January 28th 1978.

I received the following reply from the BBC today regarding the Alan Freeman Matrix H broadcast on January 28th 1978:

The session material used in the programme was as follows:
The Rods (repeat of 12/11/77 – “Life on the Line”)
Queen (repeat of 03/12/77 – “It’s Late” and 10/12/77 – “Melancholy Blues”)
John Martyn – “Small Hours”
Graham Parker and the Rumour – “Watch the Moon Come Down”
Rezillos – “Top of the Pops”
Siouxsie and the Banshees – “Love in a Voi

Tracks by the following artists were also played:
The Edgar Winter Group (“Frankenstein”/“Bull Fight and Toreador’s Song” - part of theme tune with “At the Sign of the Swinging Symbol”? It’s played at beginning and end, and is only a few seconds each time)
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
Bob Dylan
XTC
Bill Bruford
Starcastle
Rush
David Sancious
Santana
Pink Floyd
George Harrison
Hot Snax
Jimi Hendrix
Hank C. Burnette
Roxy Music

I hope this helps,

Kind regards

A follow on email from them reveals that their paperwork does not specify which tracks are in Matrix H, and that it looks like it was a live broadcast and is not in their archive.
