Steve, Although Richard is kind of a dick, he has a great website for the band http://richardandkarencarpenter.com/index.html If you go into the "Recordings" tab and click on any album, there is some info on key songs around production and players. WOJB is Hal on drums according to the site. Ticket to Ride is the only song with "notes" from the first album, and it's Karen on the drums. I'd suspect that, early on, she did some of the drum tracks, but the novelty likely wore off and she focused on vocals. It's a fun site to peruse.
