According the the 90th Inf Div's records, their organic engineer unit (part of the permanent make-up of the div) was the 325th Engineer Combat Battalion.
Their attached units were:
148th Engr C Bn 21 - Jun 44-22 Jun 44
135th Engr C Bn 9 - Nov 44-21 Dec 44
44th Engr C Bn 4 - Mar 45-6 Mar 45
35th Engr C Bn 4 - Mar 45-10 Mar 45
What I have found this morning was the 179th Bn was part of the 1139th Combat Group. I will scan the pages later today. More to follow.
So bottom line - don't worry about the 90th! The units may have fought in some of the same areas, but they weren't part of the 90th.
