In Gita, Sri Krishna says:

4.6 Though I am birthless, undecaying by nature, and the Lord of beings, (still) by subjugating My Prakriti, I take birth by means of My own Maya.
4.9 He who thus knows truly the divine birth and actions of Mine does not get birth after casting off the body. He attains Me, O Arjuna.
7.24 The unintelligent, unaware of My supreme state which is immutable and unsurpassable, think of Me as the unmanifest that has become manifest.

We have also to remember that

2.28 O descendant of Bharata, all beings remain unmanifest in the beginning;; they become manifest in the middle. After death they certainly become unmanifest. What lamentation can there be with regard to them?

So Sri Krishna makes it clear that He is different from 'Unmanisfest' becoming 'Manifest' as are ALL the persons.

Given the above, does any of our scriptures allow to brand Sri Krishna as a 'Person' ('Vyakti') with 'Personality'?

Yes Krishn can be and should be called a person or a human. Irrespective of what Bhagwan Krishn told to Arjun about himself, he was a human and a person in every sense. He was born from two human, so he belongs to human species, like all human he went through all phases of human life. He walk like a human, he talk like a human. He raised his profile to Godhood does not mean he was not a human person.
