Don't they have equivalency tables? I recall being that mentioned elsewhere in this forum.
It would be hard to believe that K gets nothing.
One way would be to buy something like KVS or ExpertFlyer and look up the published fares on a route. If the AC K fare is the same as the LH W fare, you can bet that flying AC K on a flight operated by LH will earn you miles at the W rate.
If you don't want to pay for this information, you can figure it out here:

Click "more options" and uncheck "Check seat availability". Enter your itinerary forcing it to be AC, then force it to be LH. Do this as follows:
yul :: ac
muc :: ac
and
yul :: lh
muc :: lh
After each search, click "show booking details". Look down and you will see that the AC fare is K0MSLXDT at 199.50 each way.
You will also see that the LH fare at 199.50 is a WLXDE12M fare.
So in this situation AC K = LH W.
It might be true that AC K always equals LH W, but only an AC insider could tell you that. Generally the mapping is city-pair dependent. Looking up the published fares in the way I've suggested is usually pretty accurate, though.
