Mileage for original routing

On our return from Italy this week, we were scheduled PSA-MXP-ORD on AZ; the segments are 500 mi and 4527 mi. (total 5027)
The first leg got cancelled (weather) and we rerouted PSA-CDG-ORD, on AF, that's 525 and 4140 miles. (total 4665)
For Mrs. Gargoyle, this is a difference of 362 miles, not a major amount, but every mile counts.
If we request it can she receive credit for the original mileage?

Note A: It looks like she'll end up with 36k to 40k MQM for the year, so the MQM's aren't needed.

Note B: In my case, I came out ahead, because I put the miles on my AZ account, and they give a minimum of 1200 for internat'l flights, so I got 1200 for PSA-CDG, for a total of 5340.

Note C: I do have BP's for both original and actual routing, since we were already boarded when they cancelled.
