Travelling on AY stock, and interested in the TPs more than the Avios. I'm not sure if they'd be able to tell me in the lounge or not either (on the TPs).
If you are crediting to BAEC you will get the TPs and Avios on BA metal, regardless of the ticketing airline, and assuming it is a revenue ticket. So that should work ok for you, but you may need to retro-claim it and that may take time. I doubt the lounge staff will be able to give an informed answer to your question, so I wouldn't bother them about this.
For those crediting to non BAEC schemes but on BA metal, it's more complex. There are some reports of BA tickets crediting to (e.g.) AA at the higher amount. But strictly speaking if buying an AA or AY marketed ticket, you may need to assume you won't be credited anything extra, in line with their own policies in this area.
