Garuda Airlines and Flying blue miles + XP

I have a question regarding Flying blue Miles and XP's on Garuda Indonesia flights. Im planning on booking a ticket to surabaya but am not sure if i wil receive miles and XP for it. On the flying blue website it states that you only get Miles and XP with Economy class Y B M K N Q and T

And if i look at the garuda indonesia website it states that the eco promo bookingcodes are

Eco Promo
Q 1 1 75% 75% 25% 30%
T 1 1 75% 75% 25% 30%
V 1 1 75% 75% 25% 30%
H 1 1 75% 75% 25% 30%
S 1 1 75% 75% 25% 30%

According to this, 3 bookingcodes will not receive miles or xp's.
Also i cannot find anywhere before booking the ticket, which bookingcode i will get. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this matter?

What Flying Blue website states is leading.
Could it be what Garuda states on their website is for their own FF program, GarudaMiles?

The percentages on the garuda website are indeed for their own FF programme. But the fareclasses are what my question is basically about.
Which fareclass do i get when i book the ticket. How can i find this? Since there are 5 fareclasses/bookingcodes assigned to eco promo tickets. But according to the flying blue website only 2 of them provide miles and xp to flying blue members.

As BobTL said ; ignore the airline website for earnings as FB is the only source of truth ; as long as FB says it earns then you are good

Beware some airline do some horses##t like AC (they dont follow usual process) or others like TP or OK hide such detail before purchase

As a general lesson (doesnt apply only for GA) you have several ways.
.
  1. make a simulation and look for fare details , its usually one click away information , under fare basis section (or something similar) ,
  2. If airline dont display it , make a simulation with ITA matrix and see what you might get by matching prices + class with what airline offer (beware its a bit like gambling)
  3. Reach a TA and ask to "make magic things become reality" and pull you the booking fare class you want

Once you have the full fare class , unless specific cases like those i mentionned earlier , the first letter is what you need

About GA here is the answer to your question below

OTAs like Expedia also show fare class, so sometimes I compare with them or buy from them to be sure being in the right class.
