Would someone be kind enough to explain why the PQP earnings are different for each of these three flights? In each case, a PE ticket was purchased originally which was then upgraded (not upfared) to Biz with cash. Thanks in advance.

What was the ticket stock for each? If I have to guess, I think 016 for LH403, 220 for LH402, and 618 for SQ25. The PQP for non-016 is a fraction of the distance flown; but then the 220 ticket gets capped at 750 per segment, and the 618 one gets capped at 500 per segment.
This thread has a good wiki describing how the calculation works.

It is a bit convoluted.
