Jerry, On my view 'organic' refers to the bringing to together of the two elements of capital, the mp and LP. You refer to the bringing together of use value and value. But Marx doesn't refer to the 'organic composition of the commodity' in order to refer to the unity of value and use value. Rather, he simply refers to the commodity. Thus I am questioning why, in further developments, he suddenly has to use the term 'organic' to refer to the unity of value and use value whereas previously he didn't.
