RE: Early war engineers
Since just about all combat engineers of the major combatants probably had access to satchel charges and man-portable flamethrowers, early war engineers should probably be considered even across the board one way or the other.
Regarding panzershrecks, were Germans combat engineers even issued shrecks? I can't remember. I am pretty sure that US engineers had bazookas and UK engineers had piats. The Russians and Japanese did not have shrek/bazooka equivalents, so that is a potential difference.
