>> 5-string open G: when did Keith start it? what guitars were used? <<
before that ... well, we know that on various occasions from 1969 through 71 he used that ES-330,
the 59 sunburst LP and the Dan Armstrong in open G - but with six strings, not five

>> and Wild Horses is nice in open G tuning <<
just to be clear: there's an open-g guitar on the Stripped version of Wild Horses,
but not on the studio version.

Nope. If you listen to the chords on the acoustic guitars you'll find that they are standard and Nashville-tuned.

You better get your bottle of Heinz and a (open G-tuned) guitar
Listen to the B minor chord, then you'll find that you can't get the high note on a similar open G-chord.

Isn't Rocks Off just in standard tuning?

100% standard tuning.

Liddas, I had a relisten to Wild Horses. I'm 100% positive that Taylor is playing a standard tuned Nashville, and that Keith is playing in standard tuning (with a lot of overtones, which I had forgotten about ).
What might trick you into believe it's open G is the Am7-chords he does on the choruses. The rest is plain G, D and Cs that sounds nothing like it would have been in open G tuning.
