I cannot risk booking into Basic Economy on Delta since this is an MQM run too.
It looks to me like Economy Standard (not light), although the "no free seat selection" raises doubts. Can the experts confirm this will be main cabin?
KLM charges for seat assignments, even in Business nowadays on lower fares. (Business is exempt on JV TATL routes, but cheap Y fares do require fee absent status)

IT would say Economy Light and would be full of restrictions. (The fact can change for just fare difference is key)
