AF went so far as to say that DM would not be considered for upgrades PERIOD regardless if your within Europe! I asked about "op-up's" and the answer in person at JFK was that they will find somebody.
I don't think AF/KLM give free intraEU upgrades into business class for their own FB elites, so they certainly wouldn't do this for a DL elite. Also, their OPUPs might not be based on status or even any priority rules at all.
