?? I don't think anyone is concerned with getting credit for the original booking class - you wouldn't even need boarding passes for that as they can see the e-ticket in their computer...

I think OP is asking about bonuses for upgrading, which are almost never awarded when the upgrade is processed within the check in window, which is a little longer for AFKL than for DL (30 hours versus 24 hours, I believe).
