Checking ticketed flight number

This somewhat straddles the line between BA and AA, so please bear with it;

Long story short, AA really made a mess of ticketing a website booking [Matrix->Powertools->AA.com/de]. I had selected BA code on AA metal AMS-DFW-SEA/SDF-DFW-AMS. They failed to ticket properly first time, finally got redone somewhat manually. Then mysteriously cancelled itself and was again recreated.

The problem is: nothing on the e-ticket, or on the AA site shows the BA codes - should I expect it to...? I suspect they've ballsed it up, but it is possible it's just their IT translating to their native flight codes [though I know it doesn't work like that for AA codes on other metal].

When the reservation was first made [before ticketing] there was a BA PNR and the flights appeared in the BA App/MMB automatically - nothing there any more. The original BA PNR shows as cancelled, though on the outside chance they've done things right I wouldn't be surprised if a new one had been created. My BAEC number is on the ticket just fine. So before I ring up and spend hour number five on the phone with AA - is there any way to definitively check the ticketed codes and/or reason to suspect that AA.com is just being clever in not showing me the BA codes?
