Unfortunatley, there's no way to confirm this unless you call US. When I booked my UA MR I had booked on united.com with my MP#. I had two US segments and also decided to have everything credit to my US DM account, so I called UA first and they had changed my FF# in the PNR. I then called over to US to confirm my FF# was changed - I guess I was a bit quick as it hadn't propagated over yet. I did make seat assignments as I went from a base MP member to a US Silver. No problems.
I checked on united.com to see if this reflected. It never reflected any of the seat changes that I had made over the phone so I called both again and verified everything was ok - indeed it was.
When my flights came around, no problems. The seats were assigned as they should have, I cleared upgrades for the US segments during the 24 hour window, and my BP's printed out with my US DM# on it.
Best way to check - give a call.
BUT call the appropriate airline for changes to the appropriate segment - UA can't help 100% for US metal flights and vice versa.
