 Clearly, LF did not support the 1 JD candidate in Jadavpur (who obtained 437 votes) that contested against Buddhadev Bhattacharya. But all other JD candidates clearly didn't have any LF opponent and LF was allied with JD nationally at the time.
-One point that needs to be clarified is if any candidate in Darjeeling was supported by LF, possibly the runner-up ABGL candidate might have been endorsed by LF, but no WP:RS found that indicates such a support. Chander (2004) states that LF won 246 seats, but that would have to include the JD seat and the Darjeeling seat, which was won by Ghishing (GNLF an enemy of CPI(M)).

 The RCPI split is a mess, clearly both the ”Real Communist Party of India” and RCPI(RB) contested supported by LF. The 'Real Communist Party of India' is never heard of after 1991, probably merged back into RCPI(RB). RCPI(RB) is the faction that has continued in LF. But was the 'Real Communist Party' a LF member party? There are no indications anywhere that so would have been the case.
