Well, guess we can't be too eager to jump the gun, for it could very well be authentic. It could very well be that the gentleman was a member of both units. There are many jackets and blouses around with unit insignia on both arms, this especially rang true of men who served in both WWII and Korea. They were entitled to wear patches from each unit they served with.
But, now we are all so eager to know all about independent engineer units and their attached assignments. I swear I learn something new almost every day. As I always declared, I will forever be an eternal student.
Warmly,
