Same for US elites - can change to a preferred/exit seat if one opens up as upgrades clear but if FC was full there would be no elites upgrading after you bought your ticket.
They don't even offer you a free snack. They wouldn't even hang my suit on the bulkhead when I asked (I was flying last minute to a funeral!).
Standard US - no free snack for elites in coach, no hanging jackets (that's for FC passengers).
IOW, the standard US elite treatment if in your position.
