Question AF flight paid with my AF Amex on Opodo. No "extra" Amex miles?

I have booked an AF ticket on www.opodo.fr. I normally book my flights on airfrance.fr but this time I found a great fare departing from London and was not able to book it on af.fr.

Unfortunately, I won't get the usual 1 EUR = 1 mile for AF tickets but only 0.6 mile / euro (same as for... easyJet tickets . I thought that my purchase would be identified by Amex as an AF ticket but it's not the case.

Would I have gotten the full "1 for 1" rate if I had booked it and paid it on airfrance.co.uk ? (+ the usual Amex double exchange fee rip-off: GBP->USD->EUR )
