How to tell which fare class when booking on United.com?

Hi all,

I'm trying to book flights for this Spring to South Africa through United's website and I'm planning on crediting my miles to my A3 account. I was wondering if anybody knows how A3 treats the fare class you are booked into when there is a codeshare involved. For example, I am looking at flights in economy that are listed as fare class V on United's website. The flights are operated by both United and South African Airways. I was looking to find out how A3 would treat this booking. Would I be registered as V on United and South African Airways (United = 100% miles in V, while South African = 150% miles in V) or would I only gain the 100% on all flights and would be treated as if United operated all flights? Or would I totally get screwed and only gain 100% on the United flights and be left guessing as to what I would earn on the SAA flights? I know this is a really jumbled post with lots of questions but all and any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
