Seriously doubting T-4 Pearson now!
Plus, I can find nothing to suggest that the 25th was one of the tiny number of divisions involved in the experimental desegregation that took place from late 1944 (seemingly in the ETO only).

Sorry CH, I really thought we were heading in the right direction there... I’d still like to account for that ‘N’ though.
