(We really need a "official AS codeshare partner credit wiki thread" because this question gets asked over and over and over and over again: "I have an XX operated/YY marketed flight, will I get AS credit?")
Officially, no:

(emphasis added)
Flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below and be marketed and operated by Air France.
I wouldn't count on this working past May 1 when then AS/DL partnership goes pffft, though.

It depends.

In practice, when the marketing carrier is an AS partner and the operating carrier is also an AS partner, it has worked when people send in BPs (many many reports of this in the forum). But the rules give AS an out to say "no credit".

Nope, marketing carrier is indicated by two letter carrier code on the flight number. 006 simply means that DL is ticketing carrier -- and that's all. As long as the flight is operated by AF/KL and AF/KL coded, it should earn miles.

so, as long as the flight number is AF/KL, it doesn't matter if the ticket number starts with 006, and I can still credit AF/KL miles to Alaska?

Provided it's within the eligible flight number ranges - for example, KL 200-209 or 400-2369. KL-coded codeshares on another operating carrier are not eligible.

I had one of these in December and changed it to my AS number at the checkin counter. The flights ended up crediting to Delta. I emailed the boarding passes to AS and they gave me miles too.

KLM operated but DL flight number?
I think the answer to this question is 'no', but I thought I would see if anyone found a solution to this problem. I flew in March on KLM on KL506 from SFO to AMS. The ticket was DL ticket stock (006) and with a DL flight number (DL9381). The boarding pass from KLM also listed the DL flight number, not the KLM flight number. After the flights, I put in a request to Mileage Plan, and they gave me credit for my return flights (DL flight number and DL metal) but not my outbound flights on KLM. Any chance I will be successful in getting Mileage Plan to give me credit for the flights?

So long as the marketing (code) and operating (metal) carrier is AF or KL, why would the ticket number make a difference?

It doesn't matter who issues the ticket, in general.
