I am currently in similar situation for NRT-IAD D->F. ANA website is selling 3 F seats with 2 assignable seats in F cabin. GPU upgrade is not available. I'll check periodically and hopefully something might open up starting at T-14 to T-7 like LH.
You'll be trying in vain.
Once "O" on that flight is gone, none will be converted from A or F
Even if they do within 24hrs of the flight, you won't be able to apply GPU anymore.

The only way you'll get a chance is if someone cancels his award seat and you can grab it before somebody else does.
