Yes, and those delegates (who are not noted by candidate affiliation) are free to vote for whatever candidate they want no matter who the voters in their district prefers.

I heard 2 on talk radio last week - one is Cruz, no matter what. The second prefers Trump, but said that if the voters chose someone else he would respect their votes and vote as they did.

Technically, all delegates are free to vote for whomever they choose even on the first ballot. The courts have ruled repeatedly that state governments cannot legislate the inside-baseball rules of political parties. Political affiliation is a choice not a requirement.
