Here's what I see:
AA 992 LAX-EZE (787-9) Pitch: 38 Width: 19
DL 101 ATL-EZE (A330-3) Pitch 35: Width 18
UA 891 IAH-EZE (A330-3) Pitch 34, Width 18
What am I missing?
AA also has something called "Main-cabin-extra", which looks like something between Y and PE?

The dimensions you are giving for Delta are for what is called "comfort +/C+", which is what we call a Y+ product. Regular Economy seat, but extra legroom (and in Delta's case free ETOH and snacks). United does not fly any A330s, but if they showed a seat that was 18 x 34 it would also be an extra leg room seat, called "economy plus" or E+ in FT speak....
The issue is that some search engines will include C+ and E+ as options,
even though they are NOT a "Premium Economy" product. A Premium Economy Product is basically a domestic First Class Seat with slightly greater 38" pitch. The Delta/UA/AA premium economy product all use the exact same seat, the B/E MiQ. This is also the seat that American is putting into domestic First as part of the downgrade in product with "Project Oasis"
If others says that UA and DL are not flying any PE product into S.America, I have no reason to doubt them. Unfortunately, you need to look really closely at any fare which purports to be "Premium Economy" before buying it, and make sure its actually a PE product (and delta is the worst with this).
