Fare classes when booking with OTA and partners

This may have been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I need to find the business fare classes of United and partners when NOT booking on United.com.

I am looking to get the maximum PQPs for 2020 by using partner ticketing (and using earned-miles/5 and earned-miles/6). For instance, I currently have multiple flights booked on a United ticket with partners, only supplying PQPs equal to the dollar spent. I'd consider cancelling, taking the penalty hit, and rebooking an equivalent or cheaper ticket. But I do not see the fare classes for the tickets that are offered. In general, Expedia or Orbitz have better options than buying on Swiss or Lufthansa's websites. (Swiss and Lufthansa both utilize non-*A flights).

Is there a way to know these fare classes before actually purchasing these tickets?

Thanks for any insight.
