They've only ever had those two, Nick. Phil Oakey's decision to recruit them led to the departure of the other original members.

Human League split into Heaven 17 and The Hiuman League mk II.  BEF was just a side project for Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh.

"At the time, the League were an innovative electronic pop outfit, whose formative members, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, went on to form BEF (British Electric Foundation) and later Heaven 17. "
