You will not be able to upgrade on JNB-LHR since AA does not have any metal flying on that route. As the T&C states, you can only upgrade on BA flights, even though they show up under AA flight numbers if the ticket is booked in full economy fare. As far as the LHR-USA part, if it is on AA metal then you can upgrade from any fare using miles and copay.
