This reminds me of the fact that Buddy Guy appeared on the Blues Jam at Chess album under the fake name Guitar Buddy. This had to do with label rights.
Perhaps the same with John/David Wilkinson/Wilkey????

I'd have to do some research, but not sure I really want to put time and effort in the matter.

I've done a little research on it, but there are conflicting details. Dave Wilkinson played with Steve York at one point, and on his website York calls him Dave "Wilkie" Wilkinson, like it was a nickname. Wilkinson's now dead, sadly. He was also in the Viola Wills Band in the mid-70s but I have no idea what else he did.
