There is some confusion regarding Buckwheat's girlfriend during the "Love Bug" number in OUR GANG FOLLIES OF 1938.

The call sheets November 6, 1937 mention a girl named Jean Marshall, presumably for that role. Two days later, her name is replaced by Mona Jones. Over the next few days, the name is replaced yet again, this time with Jo Ann Thomas (no relation to Buckwheat, as far as I know; ditto for Beverly Thomas, who is among the black extras in the short).

It would appear that Jo Ann is Buckwheat's girlfriend in the film based on that info. She's mistakenly listed on the site as a member of Buckwheat's band.

Also worth noting that many of the additional black players in FOLLIES OF '38 were recruited from Ben Carter's School. Which of them were part of Buckwheat's band and which were part of the Love Bug dance number, I'm not sure. It's possible some (or all?) doubled. In fact, a handful of the additional performers seen throughout the film doubled (or even tripled) as extras.
