Earning Miles on Code Share Flights

Tried to find an answer to this by calling OPSC and I keep getting different responses.

Are miles earned for CO number flights, operated by LH on L Class? I see these flights on CO.com but there is not a clear guideline posted (like we had when CO was with ST) on how many RDM/EQM you would earn for code-share flights. Someone had mentioned that usually the operating carrier equivalent fare determines if you earn miles. If that is the case, since LH does not have an L class earning fare for CO, you would get no miles. However, CO.com when you make the reservation shows 100% RDM/EQM.

To complicate matters more, what do you earn with UA flight numbers operated by LH or CO in L and/or S fare class?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Trying to finalize travel plans and want to make sure I get the miles needed for Plat.

Thanks
