That is not completely correct. IATA Resolution 302 goes on to state that "In case of code share flights [Marketing Carrier] will be the Operating Carrier, unless that carrier publishes a rule stipulating that it will be the Marketing Carrier."

That's why I say the rule is ultimately contradictory, and basically allows the marketing carrier to do whatever it likes.

OP, I would count on two bags at 23kg each (economy allowance + *G allowance). Anything beyond that there's a good chance they will charge you for it.
