Have I understood this correctly?

If I booked a ticket from say CPT to LHR on QR via DOH on the AS website in business I would get 250% elite qualifying miles. However, if I booked the ticket through QR directly or a travel agent then I would only earn 125% elite qualifying miles?

If that is correct, does that then mean if I was to book a OneWorld Round The World ticket, which I do not believe AS issue, that I would therefore only be able to earn 125% elite qualifying miles on all flights?

Thanks for any clarity you may be able to offer.
This is correct. Booking on a partner website, or in this instance QR will incur the partner earning rate which is 125% elite miles.

IIRC, If AS does not issue said ticket, it will be based on the ticket stock that is issued so I would assume that it would earn based on that partner's site.
