Time Mystery #2: Additional 1st Album Credits

The was a question posted last year regarding the Wikipedia credits for the first Time album. We all know you can't believe everything entered there, but I've since seen several sites still listing credits for the album as:

Morris Day Vocals, Vocals (bckgr), Producer
Joe Dolny Drums, Vocals
Jimmy Jam Keyboards, Vocals
Alex Johnson Guitar, Vocals
Jellybean Johnson Percussion, Drums
Jesse Johnson Guitar, Vocals
Terry Lewis Bass, Vocals, Vocals (bckgr)
Gary Margetz Guitar, Vocals
Torris Margetz Bass
Monte Moir Keyboards, Vocals
Jamie Starr Producer, Engineer

Yeah we know it was all Prince & Morris (with a little help from Lisa, Dez and Fink) but who the flip are Joe, Alex and the Margetz Brothers? There's hardly any info via Google except a reference in a book called "Tapestry of Delights" and this:

"Drummer Joe Dolny, like the sweetly nicknamed Jellybean Johnson, is a rhythm section sundial keeping time for the Time, a funk outfit which backed Prince in the '70s and recorded material on its own in the early '80s. This is not the same Joe Dolny who played trumpet and wrote arrangements for big bands. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide"

Is this all a prank that's gone wildly out of control?
