That's a tricky one, unfortunately. I once flew NH on an LH ticket and based on the LH booking class, I was confident I would get 100% miles. It ended up mapping to NH in a way that only accrued 70% miles. I asked about both LH and OZ about how to find out the mapping, but nobody could give me an answer.

LH is a lot stingier about giving 100% miles to other airline programs than SQ btw, so mentally prepare yourself for possibly getting only 50% miles.
