Very intriguing – have never heard either of those records, will seek them out. Meanwhile, at the very least in the service of completism, I'd urge a listen to Astral Weeks. Davis is more than a sideman on the record; he's way up in the mix, and a vital counterpoint to Van's voice and guitar.
I don’t know the Dealin’ album but the 1990 Live at Sweet Basil quintet album opens with the title track (when I return home I’ll check the liner notes for any clues about the film project).
In between the two albums is Song for Wounded Knee (Flying Dutchman) with DeJohnette & Joe Beck. Spacy and political.
Was just listening to Epistrophy and Nows The Time as I finish up some comments on Joe Chambers!!! Thanks for this great post...

I really need to check out these Richard Davis albums!
