Has anyone had experience about the following:

I made an award booking using AA miles. The flight was on AY. AY cancelled the flight at last minute and AY rerouted me on AY+AA metal, with AY+AY flight numbers. AY wrote a new ticket with a 105-ticket number (AY) but the original booking reference. The new ticket shows booking classes D and I, both miles eligible, and the ticket also shows my AAdvantage number.

Any good guesses? Will I get miles for these flights? If not automatically, would it pay off to try to retroclaim them?
