There is no such thing as a dumb question, unless it remains unasked.
A brief reference exists in the background material towards the presence of some Polish guides, but no mention of numbers or organisation (may have been just half a dozen local civilians for all we know).
Other than that, it was a solely American show with regards to the 5th ID (ignoring the previously mentioned stragglers, etc).
Nearest other formal unit of another nationality (besides enemy) would be the Canadians, followed by either the Germans or British way back on the Polish border.
IMO, non-US troops within the 5th ID may have been grouped together to ease language, cultural, and doctrinal issues (there's significant difference between the way a US infantry platoon operates compared to British). Logistically it makes sense to group them together as well given their base issue of gear and weaponry (M16s are just a bit different to G3/G11/L85/L1A1s for example).
