Married Segment for Upgrades

I want to fly JFK-DXB-MED and u/g JFK-DXB from Y to J with miles. EF shows

Now my question is, is JFK-DXB showing no seats in D class because the connection [DXB-MED] has no seats in D so the whole trip is showing as D0 or will I actually not be able to upgrade JFK-DXB if I am holding a ticket for Option 2?

I had a previous booking JFK-DXB-MCT where DXB-MCT had seats in D when searching segment by segment but not JFK-DXB but both segments were greyed out for upgrades on MMB.

If I buy a ticket [currently on hold] for Option 2, will I be able to upgrade JFK-DXB? Will i have to call EK?

Hope this isn't too confusing!

Thanks!
