JL flight numbers I guess. You should be able to assign seats on JL's MMB. It used to be a bit challenging, but recently I have had success with it.

​​​On the JAL flight numbers, there should not be a seat selection charge. When you go to the AY MMB, you use the native number, and no quite knowing how they see that in their system. Alternatively, call JAL.
