By the start of 1945, the US had 61 independent tank battalions and 73 independent tank destroyer battalions. In the ETO alone there were 31 independent tank battalions and 52 independent tank destroyer battalions. They spent most of their time attached to infantry divisions providing armored support.
Yeah, effectively the US 1944-45 infantry division is the one you posted +1xARM + 1xTD/AT + 1xAA(mot) on average. There's sometimes a few weeks from Normandy to V-E day where they don't have an AA bn attached, but good heavens, I can't be bothered. And while there weren't quite enough tank and TD battalions to go around, again, I'm not gonna micromanage that much. If there was a built-in corps troops thing where I could attach a few divisions and stuff the corps full of armor, arty, recon, and engineers, then sure, but not manually. From a certain point of view, the US armored division might be better represented as 3xARM, 1xLARM, though. Between the three tank battalions, there were 9 medium companies and 3 lights.

Although I'm going to give the post-war organization that died in funding cuts a whirl too. That'd be adding 1xAA, 3xARM, 2xHART, and 1xART to the infantry, and 1xAA, 3xMECH + 1xHART to the armor, roughly speaking.

Just wondering, is there any difference between 3x4 infantry and 4x3 infantry? Or is it visual only?

As i understood it, you can only have same type off battalion in each column, so with five columns, you are limited to at max five difrent types of battalions...

so wihle 4x3 and 3x4 is the same, 4x3 can have two other kinds of types in its two free columns, while 3x4 only have one free column so it can only have one other type of battlion... thats my guess

There are only 3 typs of battalions so you can have everything in one div
