It is what your e-ticket states, not what MMB states. The BA ticketed allowance is 1x23kg. The BA baggage website clearly states the additional allowance for BA Silver is for BA flights only. It is well known that MMB is often wrong with baggage, lounge access, etc.

It is not an 'undocumented' QF allowance, they have seemingly waived their stated policy allowance and granted you an exception.

You are confusing yourself. The DOT rule is simple, first carrier allowance applies. IATA Resolution 302 includes MSC.
However in your case DOT does not apply.
