Herb - That could be it; doesn't Donovan mention such groups with infantry at some point in his new book?

Allen, Stuart discussed this somewhere on this site. As I remember it the depiction in the 2004 movie was of the "squad" of sappers that each infantry battalion had and not members of the separate engineer battalion. You're talking about gastadores.

I reckon so. The huge sappers or gastadores in the film with those axes were probably scary enough to bring forth brief gastritis or sap some defender's resolve.
