The ticketed allowance is the ticketed allowance
QF Plat (OW Emerald) get extra 1 piece & 32kg for Au domestic.
OW Emerald get extra benefits as the OW web site
From the post above, looks like QF may apply the greater QF plat benefits

20. Extra checked baggage allowance is only available on Qantas operated jet flights with a QF flight number on your ticket and varies by route and travel class. Piece, size and weight restrictions apply. Visit qantas.com/baggage for details.

My understanding this in place of the OW Emerald (32kgs vs 20kg) (as its more than OW).
The OW Emerald extra is not on top of the QF Plat allowance. QF do not give a similar status extra twice. QF Plat is OW Emerald

Extra baggage allowance
As an Emerald frequent flyer you can check in one additional bag for free in addition to your ticketed baggage allowance when you fly on oneworld airlines. If your ticket mentions a weight allowance, you can check in an extra 20kgs (44lbs). (This benefit is not available on British Airways 'Hand Baggage Only' fares on select short-haul routes.)
On you separate tickets just expect to pay. May be cheaper on line than at the airport.
With QF the people who do the check in do not deal with ticketing/money. You are sent off to another service counter for that, and then back to check in.
