Kent,
I am confident that the Company A photo would have been taken the same day, 19 May 1944, along with the rest of the battalion. They would have had the companies staged and ready so the photographer could snap each company photo one right after another. I think it is a bit odd that there is no writing on the Company A photo. Most every unit panoramic picture I have ever seen, including ones from the World War I era, have the unit number, date, and location. If it turns out your father appears in both photos, now that would be a real head scratcher! Have a good one!

Randy,
Thank you for the hi-res photo of Company C. It clears-up my question of whether my father is in the picture, and the answer is "no". Probably the combination of a blurry photo and some wishful thinking. Great work on the photo though, I am sure it will be a great help others identify their loved ones.
