I'm assuming that you are attempting to buy a roundtrip ticket with the intention of using only the outbound, and then requesting for a refund minus the €190 fee. The chance of getting any residual value back from this strategy is small. IMO your best bet is to hope for a cancellation or significant schedule change, in which cases you might be able to request for a full refund of the value of the return portion without fee.

The "historical" oneway fare is the lowest published oneway fare on the day the ticket was issued and applicable to your original itinerary. So, if you are still planning to buy this ticket, you can figure out the "historical" fare simply by making a dummy oneway booking. Otherwise, past published fares can be pulled up by anyone with access to a CRS--it's publicly available, but not readily accessible to us mortals.

These are basically the same fare, but differentiated by day of travel:
V booking class,
High (summer) season,
X for weekday (I presume lower fare) and
W for weekend (slightly higher fare). I don't know the rest...
