Thank you for the quick confirmation guys! It's a 932 ticket so looks like it will be based on miles flown. VS also says 3,440 miles on their site, so I'll just go with the lower number (versus 3,451) to avoid any disappointments
One additional detail, if it is an DL 006 ticket, miles would be earned based on amount paid, not mileage flown -- even if VS coded. If it is a VS 932 ticket, then it will be based on miles flown.
gcmap says 3,451 miles each way.
So you should get:
3,451 MQM each way
$518 MQD
2,588 RDM
Looks like you read the chart and did the math correctly, we are just using different sources for the JFK-LHR distance. I have found gcmap to be extremely reliable with crediting to Delta, usually within ±1 mile.

I always use the miles DL states for the flight (if it's not shown during booking, you can usually click on the flight number and find the DL-defined distance, sometimes with one additional click) rather than looking up the great circle numbers, which DL doesn't necessarily use.
