Unfortunately that photo isn't going to help with anything. Without a schematic, your guess is as good as ours. If you posted good photos of the trace side somebody could potentially make a schematic, though I can't promise that somebody will actually be interested in taking the time to do that.

The Dynacomp style compressors use an OTA for the compression. The TL072 and 4558 are not OTAs, this is something different.

Personally I would just get rid of this Orange and build or buy a better sounding amp. Orange has really destroyed their reputation in recent years by putting out amps like this, but they're probably making more money than ever. Kinda weird how that works
