ANC - SLC segment lists as: "Not Upgrade Eligible"

Is this because:
a) companion in the same pnr; do I have to split pnr to be upgrade eligible?
b) it is an "X" class fare - new discount economy fare. Maybe this fare class isn't eligible? (delta's website doesn't indicate so, at least not for medalions)
c) some problem with how it was booked by the TA?
a) Companion upgrades on DL are not a benefit for AS elites, so that is likely the problem.
b) X class is definitely eligible for medallion/partner elite upgrades as it is what U/T class was prior to DL's fare class realignment. Even E class is eligible for medallion/partner elite upgrades.
c) This should not be an issue at all; there have been no reports of AS MP members getting reduced earnings on DL flights booked as consolidator fares, so you should get full AS miles.
