Very possible - the WX was tough Friday morning and many of those oversolds might have been from misconnects to an earlier flight. This was a late AM departure.
While probably not applicable in this case, there's another situation that can be misinterpreted. I have a friend who's a Captain for another airline. She lives in New Orleans and is LAX based. While I don't know the exact details, her airline provides F tickets (probably heavily discounted) on DL for her MSY-LAX work travel. There are many people who see an airline uniform and don't necessarily know which airline the person is from. Some of the uniforms are very similar. So, someone sees her seated in F and jumps to conclusions.

My LAX friend told me of a time the pax came back up to the gate after boarding and half yelled at him about giving first class to nonrevs. The GA half yelled back

False. All activity within a Delta system is logged and tied back to the user. If they wanted to look and found an employee accessing info for a non work-related purpose, they could be subject to disciplinary action.
From the Deltanet login page:
Because of this, you're less likely to see employees publicly checking "shenanigans" on FT.

I said they don't much care what people look at. That's completely distinct from copying content (such as you did) to anywhere else.

NetJets does this. I've seen twice where a customer has gotten upset and complained to the gate agent about upgrading a nonrev over her. Then the gate agent has to embarrass the customer: "they paid for their seat and they have higher Medallion status than you."

(If it's something I can do, I might start doing it on flights I'm in (paid or upgraded) F/J just to annoy them.)

I suspect many simply assume (and you know the result of that) that anyone in crew uniform is DL crew, and therefore NRSA
I trust you're being sarcastic, but just in case ... please don't be a p**** and do it just because you can do it
