You have the right answer for the wrong reason.

The fare determines the change possibilities, not the single letter booking code. You cannot infer how flexible a flight will be from the booking code.

For instance, "I" fares not originating from the UK are usually flexible for a small penalty.

The underlying fare will determine the change possibilities, in this case whatever change provisions were attached to your T fare. You will still require availability in the "I" bucket on the new flight for the GUF to be applied onto the new flight.
