When was he at Seven?

Never?
Appalling click-bait headlines by the usual suspects. Negus was a very vocal critic about the standard of commercial news reporting. This cruelly demonstrates his point.

Today had a couple of dedicated segments this morning. For Sunrise it was mostly in their news bulletins then The Morning Show had a segment with Peter Ford.

Seems like he did a brief stint at Seven between working at Nine and the ABC. Looks around 1990/91.

Maybe just did some expert analysis during the war?

and not only did Ten’s social media label him as “George Nebus”, I was not aware that Ten News First in Melbourne included footage of Paul Hogan’s parody “George Fungus” in its tribute to George? As pointed out by Media Watch Bites:

Interesting that wasn’t shown in the Brisbane version of the report; there was other vision spliced in, so it must have been noticed.
I also saw that and other parodies of George seen on several reports. Seven’s report pointed out that he was famous enough ‘for others to poke fun at him’; in another report IIRC Liz Hayes had to point out that the video being played was Paul Hogan.
