Do I get an RPU back if I apply it to a BusinessFirst route that fails to clear?

Looking at EWR-SFO-HNL flights where EWR-SFO is R0 and SFO-HNL is R positive.

If I apply a GPU and only SFO-HNL clears, do I get the GPU back? It seems to me that the premium cabin on EWR-SFO is called "BusinessFirst" in at least one place on the UA web site, but the premium cabin on SFO-HNL is just called "first".

Then same question for RPU -- if I apply and RPU and only SFO-HNL clears, do I get the RPU back? Similarly it seems to me that the premium cabin on EWR-SFO is called "BusinessFirst" in at least one place on the UA web site, but the premium cabin on SFO-HNL is just called "first".

But I don't know if the special UA t&c for refunding a partially used GPU that touched no BusinessFirst sectors also applies to RPUs.
