The distance GLA-DXB is 3633 mi. whilst the whole journey is 12,457, so GLA-DXB is approx 29% of the distance. 29% of GBP2516 is GBP729 . Under EC261, there is an entitlement to 75% refund for that sector which would come to GBP547.23

I would be pushing for GBP547 or require that it provide the pricing breakdown to show how 75% of the GLA-DXB sector value is only GBP329 . if it will not provide the proof, I would take it to MCOL to claim the GBP547

I would also suspect that the AKL fare component is slightly higher than the PER component
IIRC, eu261 only kicks in if the downgrade is within a month. They calculate highest J vs lowest F pro-rated... once they downgraded me, the lowest F was cheaper than the highest J, generously I did not have to pay more
