My understanding is that you bought the ticket in UK on AF which is a EU carrier. It starts and end in UK. You were downgraded on the inbound. Hence UK261 applies as the operator needs to be a UK or EU/EEA carrier. It could be that EC261 applies because the flight concerned is non-EU/UK to EU. That could be confusing. But in both cases you are owed the same compensation.
When doing a claim, you should limit yourself to the facts and be brief and to the point. Anything that is confusing will entail a rejection.
ALthough it is BA related, you might find this thread useful:
