I still don't understand why the 2nd leg of the flight was credited then? So should I look into getting the mileage credit on the 1st leg thru another airline?

You live and learn my friend. Many moons ago I took a summer trip to Vietnam with friends - convinced them to all sign up for AAdvantage accounts (I already had one) since we'd all earn a bunch of miles, right? I neglected to realize that while on AA metal (at least to NRT, then NRT-SGN on JL), our flights were all booked as VN codeshares, so zero AA miles for us. Of course, this is back when AA and VN codeshared (prior to VN joining Skyteam). The big "Vietnam Airlines" paper ticket should've tipped me off - guess not!
Haven't made that mistake since.
