I have previously called MPO to see if I'd gain double miles if I'd booked on KA.com instead of CX.com and the answer was now. I now purchase KA flights on CX.com under the CX codeshare. Your BP will show KA123 with a small line of font directly underneath that reads "sold as CX1234". I am pretty certain it doesn't affect op-up chances.
