LAN and all its subsidiaries are getting very confusing... I've been looking at all the resources I can think of for a while but have yet to find the answer.
I'm planning a trip to Peru and found the following itinerary on AA.com's multi-city search. I'm trying to find out if I'll earn AAdvantage miles for some of the segments.

From my understanding, I'll earn at 100% for 2057 and 2018 since they're in Y, so that should be fine.
For 1631 and 1630, I'm assuming I'll earn nothing since the X code isn't even on the earning chart, please correct me if I'm wrong (I'll be happy to be wrong in this case).
My problem is with XL 539 and 538 since these are the long segments. Does LAN Ecuador flights booked under their XL flights numbers earn as LAN or am I out of luck? The LAN earning page says "Earn miles when flying on LAN Airlines marketed and operated flights for travel on an eligible published fare ticket. Miles are also earned on LAN Airlines codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and oneworld affiliates." but I'm not sure if that really answers me... so I'm in need of clarification. These flights don't seem to come up on LAN.com (US) if that helps at all.
Thank you for any insights.
