I had checked online about OU class and general consensus is that OU was attributed to international flights/delta one seats, but I don't think this is the case here, given the aircraft.
The general consensus is anything but. Flights that continue as an international flight or are a continuation of an international flight are also coded as Business class up front, even if it's a domestic flight and operated by a domestic bird.
