The "I" in the second to last character of the fare basis code identifies it as an Economy Plus fare.
They do book into the B booking class. They're dual inventory differential fares that book into B but also check W- and S- availability and use the fare basis codes you note (similar to how TFA2AFFN books into P as a differential fare).
