KQ/HM flights are true codeshares, where KQ just sells seats on HM (under a KQ flight number) as they come up. So award tickets are not done.
The arrangement AF has with HM is revenue sharing where AF actually pays a fixed amount to HM for each flight and gets a number of seats in return to sell. Those seats are eligible for award travel.
As an aside, up until last year I went to both Seychelles and Mauritius yearly for business (tourism) and am still quite familiar with a lot. PM me if you have questions about most anything and I should be able to help (esp with the resorts and tourism aspects).
