Questions about the Qatar FFP are best asked in the QR forum.

For my own ticket, I will have to mix between MH and QR, because i want to maintain my Enrich Platinum via MH, then the balance to go with QR.
While for my wife's ticket, as a newbie, the route I book was un-optimized, but even with that, using the Qpoints calculator, my wife could get close to 450 points, if I credit all her flights to QR. Thus, I am now trying to tweak and see if can get her to 600 Qpoints.

If I understand correctly from the past 2 days discussion,
1. Say, I am taking a MH flight from KUL - NRT
2. The same flight is marketed by QR.
3. Using the Qpoints calculator,
- If take MH and credit to QRPC - I got 30 Qpoints
- If I take MH but use codeshare by QR - then I got 81 Qpoints.
Am is my understanding correct?

I found out through luck that when I was messing with my seat selection at QR page, I realize I can select my seat for KUL - NRT in the same page, which leads me to believe there is codeshare with QR in this flight.
I further investigate in QR page, by searching the flight,
- when I search KUL - NRT, it says no such flight
- when I search DOH - NRT, then the MH flight with QR code shown up as connection.

My question is, is there a reliable way to find what's the codeshare available for other flights?
To get the benefits of higher earning on the codeshares would need to be ticketed on that codeshare.
If you do not want to pay for expertflyer the airport and flight info web sites often list native and codeshare flights. But more work to determine.
