+1 though some MPC agents need to be pushed to realize this- took a bit of time to get them to add these BA flights on a oneworld award recently.
There are other posts on this forum where people had some difficulty with the MPC in getting retro-credit for Comair flights, but got worked out eventually, I think.
Also, I've seen OTA sites showing Kulula flights (MNxxx flight numbers) as 'operated by Comair', which along with some BA flights showing up as 'operated by Kulula' confuses things up a bit.
OP: if you're going down this route, just ensure that you book a BA flight number, and in a fareclass that is eligible for MPC accrual, and you'll be fine (subject to posting dates/extensions that is).
