Indeed.
My thoughts are in the final few hours the component units of the US 5th ID wouldn't have held anything back. Any ammo they had on hand would have been dumped on the attackers both in a desperate attempt to survive, and also to deny it to the enemy when they were finally overrun.
This may explain in part why the 124th didn't have much left afterwards too - the 5th's artillery took most of it out and a few ambushes of their supply vehicles took care of the rest.
Just a thought...
