From my father's post-war papers I have a letter signed by General László Solymos. Could this be the same person?

[borsod]

Yes, they are same
He died Gröbming (Austria), 30.09.1960.

I think he will be Károly Beregfy:

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum!
Beregfy was promoted to General in 1939 and was a Colonel-General at the beginning of 1944, so it can't be him, though I can see the resemblance.

Bestr egards,
