Not unusual for airlines to have other or extra baggage benefits over the OW benefit for there own status members.
Is a difference "weight" system and "piece" system.
No mention of "32kg" in OW web site

Well I don’t have any status with AA just with BA. I think they were basing the extra allowance on it being an international First Class ticket, which AA and BA through their marketing agreements tend to align on. I did ring up AA ahead of time, and they confirmed by phone that for the PHL-JAX-MIA segments I’d have the same 3x32 as I had SFO-JFK. Having read that this may not be the case, I asked them to note my PNR as such, and had no issues along the way. It’s only AS that made a fuss about it, and I only had two bags that were slightly over…
Anyway, that’s not the point. I just wanted to give some feedback on a question I had raised back before I booked my AONE3. And I did think it interesting that AA was even willing to confirm by phone that I’d be entitled 3x32 since that was the allowance on the previous segment. I wasn’t necessarily expecting it, and wouldn’t even necessarily expect it from BA when I fly down to NCE.
The crux question now for me is about the no show/change fees and how they are applied. So if anyone knows that, I’d appreciate feedback.
