"Upgrade" an UP fare later?

So I'm seeing some odd things with trying to book a flight... DL website shows the First/Business column with "Business (D) + Other". The "Other" happens to be H in econ. This is coming up on both outgoing and return legs of an itinerary.

I checked the fare basis, and it is the old school (not /wnup) x-up fare HA14UPNQ for all segments. My guess is its going into coach for two of the (short) segments since according to EF, P inventory is not available.
Fare rules are:
INSTANT PURCHASE FIRST TRAVEL
THESE FARES APPLY FOR FIRST/COACH CLASS SERVICE. BOOKING CODES H P D

I seem to remember some people talking about booking these kind of UP fares into coach and then calling later to move into first if the proper bucket is available available. Has anyone tried this recently?
