Thanks in advance for any insight offered. Currently both segments are listed as F5 (three weeks out); so I'm feeling slightly optimistic .
No, OWE will only help you for revenue waitlists not award waitlists.

Also does booking class affect the upgrade chances?
You will 99% be asked to issue the oneway upgrade for 873 on 26 Mar if it becomes available and 872 remains not available. Or else MPO will drop you off the waitlist and you will have to keep checking yourself for the last four days before departure and eventually try for instant upgrade if nothing comes up still. Booking class does not affect upgrade chances.
