It's possible the Osprey book got it wrong (it was written during the cold war) and they mistook an existing unit which had been temporarily deployed there, or they just made an assumption based on what they thought should be there using similar situations elsewhere as a template.
It's also possible the Black Sea unit was only a training unit and stripped for reinforcements later in the war. The weather there allows for year round training in the fundamentals much more so than does postings further north.
As for the 63rd in Korea, it's quite likely there was only limited transportation and escorts available (after all, the last major fleet in being had just been destroyed off Norway), so it's quite likely the 63rd were reassigned to Korea when it became apparent that not only could they not be lifted to Alaska, but the Soviets were having trouble supplying the units they'd already sent. Additionally, it appears they were needed as reinforcements against the US/UN offensive.
