Does this new class mean we will now earn miles and can we upgrade these tickets to first using avios points?
You shouldn't earn miles, but it depends how the new flights have been processed. You may get lucky.
Upgrading to F on LHR-EZE won't be possible as that is now a three class flight with no F. You can always give it a go calling for the JNB leg. From my experience, it's new F too.
