You're right about the two harverstors but not about the game engine. At 
least not according to the Westwood FAQ
I quote:
"Command & Conquer is not DUNE III.   The only item borrowed from our 
 earlier real-time strategy game is the cool interface, and even that 
 has been updated.   The game engine has been totally rewritten to 
 support more units and an enhanced artificial intelligence.
