Upgrades may or may not be offered. That can change at any time so you would need to keep checking
As to whether a TA bookings would be upgradable in advance would depend on the fare code of the booking.
The fare code of the booking is H, which the travel agent lists as "Premium Economy", but does not appear in the table here:

(only W and S do). Negotiated discount, maybe?
I'll keep checking back. This is the shorter flight and Premium Economy is supposed to be pretty nice, so it is no big deal if it isn't available. But I'm a bit surprised that they wouldn't run the auction the whole time--typically that would result in more bids and a better chance at higher bids (especially as the bids of other participants aren't shown).
Thanks for your reply,
