How does this work?

I've been doing research on the best, cheapest way to get MQM's next year. I've looked at a number of starting points and airlines & I have a specific question.
I searched for flights on DL & Korean Airlines from LAX. I looked at flights on KE to ICN then onto BKK.
When not logged into my account on DL it says the flights are operated by KE & I would earn 5,740 miles & 16,530 MQM.
On the KE site, the same flights show as 8,260 miles but, of course, they're not going to show the MQM's on a different airline.
(These are U & Q flights)

KE is a little cheaper, but I'm concerned that I would earn fewer MQM. The DL website says you get 100% but is that 100% of the 8,260 or the same 16.530 listed on the DL site? Thanks
