I have spoke with a collector friend and he said that this unit device was not limited to black piped enigineering corp insignia and may also be seen on magenta piped infantry tabs and boards as well.
He also said that this shirt appears to be a dark olive wool. Unfortunately that is what will make it hard to tell if it is wartime or post war from just a photograph. Because buttons are easy to replace and the shoulder boards can be added at any time, it is difficult to say if it's really a WWII period uniform. So I'm puzzled once again. :(
