Or am I missing something ?
From my experience:
The airline will disclose the actual fare portion for each segment (and not just fare unit)
You won't see that anywhere online, only the airlines know it.

In court one could argue that you wish to receive the 75% based on the actual flown miles (from GCM), so if you receive an involuntary downgrade on BUD-AMS for A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper you'd be entitled of 75% of 12% of the net price excl. gov. taxes (8742/728)
