Believe it or not, the 2nd Armored Division was a reserve unit in the battle for Sicily but it was not deployed in Italy(the 1st Armored Div replaced them). The others, I assume, were units that were in the 7th Army in France. And some divisions were in both armies.
You are correct, the 2nd Armored Division was deployed in Sicily with the 540th, then again with the 7th Army in Southern France.
When I get my 540th history outline completed, you will be able to see more info. I just haven't had the time to do so yet, but am making great progress. I will be able to fill in info like this as we go.
