Here's another website that gives information on the 20th Engineers:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/54eng-b.htm
Since the unit went in with the forces in the invasion of Sicily in July and your father was injured in June he may still have been recuperating and thus did not travel with the unit. Maybe this is how he got detached and subsequently reassigned to another unit... the 292nd. Speculation, but hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this.
