BA's alllowance for economy class is 1 x 23 Kg. the additional allowance for Silver is 1 extra piece

On https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...age-allowances, where it shows the allowance for status holders of 2 x 32 Kg, it also clearly states "The above allowances apply to British Airways flights only."

The OneWorld page on baggage allowance states

As a Sapphire frequent flyer, the following special checked baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines:

On international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance "weight" system - 15 kgs in addition to the ticketed Economy Class baggage allowance.

On international itineraries, that include domestic sectors, using the baggage allowance “piece” system – one additional bag*, weighing up to 23kgs, up to a maximum of two pieces.

On purely domestic itineraries, using the baggage allowance "piece" system, for tickets with no ticketed baggage entitlement - the assurance of one piece of checked baggage, weighing up to 23 kgs.
This is in line with what the OP is showing listed on his booking
