This was done online through MMB several months before the flight (flown in January 2019). Mine might have been an X award ticket too.
This is different case which is Y-J, not as the same as OP's J-F.
Yes, for KA A33R( 3 cabin aircarft), elite status passangers in Y can pre-select J Row 16-18 after their Y tickect is issued.
However, I have never encountered Row 1-2 can be pre-selected for J passangers online.
