Yes, I discovered that fact.
I now have what I want working with this:
#+begin_src elisp
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(font-lock-add-keywords nil
'(("Alpha:\\|." . font-lock-warning-face)
("Alpha:\\([^<]+?\\)." . (1 font-lock-constant-face))
("Beta:\\|." . font-lock-doc-face)
("Beta:\\([^<]+?\\)." . (1 font-lock-comment-face))))))
#+end_src
My end marker is the FULLWIDTH FULL STOP character. It may not be the
most rigorous solution but it works.

Yes, I did.
Thanks.
Best wishes
