According to the Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM), "Disobeying a superior commissioned officer" is punishable by death (if the offense is committed in time of war). How often, if at all, did this occur during WW2?

It didn't. Eddie Slovik was the only US soldier during WW2 (or WW1) who was shot for an offense that wasn't rape or murder, and that was for desertion.

Based on the MCM, I assume you meant for US forces? The answer would differ wildly between US and Russian forces at the time...
