It's possible that this lady thinks her female cat is half Persian because one of her parents is longhaired. Some people do not know any better and assume that all cats are some kind of breed... so if the mother has a longhaired parent and a shorthaired parent, this lady might think the mom's parents are "Persian" and "British Shorthair" when they are not really any breed?
As far as the dad, it's possible that this lady might have tried to breed her cat to her friend's Bengal cat... but unbeknownst to her, the cat already had a red tabby boyfriend in the neighborhood that is actually the dad of these kittens...
But it also seems to be quite common that people will grab a picture of a Bengal from somewhere on the internet and claim it is the father of their cat's kittens. People do this because buyers will pay more for "half Bengal" kittens than they will for regular tabby kittens.
