From a lot of my reading I always felt the 11th ACR seemed to in some ways particularly connected to area of Germany they were tasked to protect. This doesn't make their roots as strong as you (and to be honest I) felt they might have been prewar, but it certainly could deepen them.
Some of this might also depend upon how suddenly hostilities began in Europe. A small amount might also be accounted for by personnel re-enlisting PDA (Present Duty Assignment).
