Not intending to give you the short shrift, but: Copolla’s script for the movie was based on two books. I have read them both (years ago) and your question may be answered in those books.
Time prevents me from looking that information up for you. Sorry.

The other book that Coppola used for Patton was "A Soldier's Story" by General Omar Bradley.

The other book was Omar Bradley’s, he was also a technical director on the film and he didn’t like Patton.
