Two of the 36th engineers replied. Art Cook stated he hadn't heard of attached unit patches. John Fallon states,
"The rules are as I understand them that you can wear on your right shouldeer the patch with which you wish to associated, probably the one you wore in combat. Since regulations require you to wear your current unit on your left shoulder you have no choice. I have a white uniform shirt I wear to certain functions of the American Legion and as a compromise I wear the Engineer Amphibioun Command Patch on my right shouler and the the 36th Engineer patch on my left. Mostly thought the American Legion preferred uniform is grey pants and blue blazer and I wear the Seahorse patch on my left pocket. Notice the General Officers you see on The TV on their right shoulder they ususally have an Infantry Division Patch and probably a Corps or Army on the Left.
