I think from what you are saying I should confirm with jet airways (9W) as to whether they will credit these flights (and how much) before going down that route.
What airline ffp's are you a member of now? Miles/status?
Do all the flights have a VS flight number?
I would not be confident on VS marketed flights operated by DL crediting are to a 3rd airlines ffp.
Who sold the tickets (ticket number) mean little, unless a revenue based ffp. And then the rules need checking and understanding.
With codeshares you need to understand the rules for crediting ff miles and what is an
eligible flight.
With some airline ffp's (like Oneworld & Skyteam) the marketing carrier (flight number) determines earnings, if an eligible flight.
With some airline ffp's (like Star Alliance) the operating carrier (a.k.a. metal) determines earnings, if an eligible flight.
But as is the way with ffp's there can be exceptions.
The airline who tickets (ticket number) can have an influence with revenue based ffp's
