JL902 OKA-HND on Dec 15 Class J

The seat maps are identical with and without my JMB number. I have one of the exit row seats assigned but all 4 seats are shown as blocked.

While booking on JAL website, some seats aren't selectable if you aren't JMB elites but EF shows them as available even without any status. E.g. 6D-G are available on JAL website but EF shows them as blocked even with my JMB number
