AS earnings on upgraded SQ flights?
If I buy a premium economy ticket on SQ and upgrade with SQ miles to business class, how many miles will I earn on AS?

I know on many US carriers there is an 'upgrade' fare class that credits you the original paid fare class, however I can't seem to find this for SQ, and in any case I'm not sure how it would work for the non-alliance partner.
AS earning rates for partners' business and first are phenomenal, so I'm trying to figure out whether it is worth it to buy business or just buy PE and upgrade.

If the boarding pass of a SQ PE ticket upgraded to J or F shows as a business or first class ticket with a class that is eligible to credit to AS; ie it doesn't show anything indicating it was upgraded with points, I would not attach my AS number and submit it to Mileage Plan for manual credit.

Delving further into SQ Awards & Upgrades I see that a business award/upgrade is I class and a First award/upgrade is O class. Original booking class is credited to KrisFlyer Accounts.
Crediting to AS would also be at original booking class. AS would know that an I or O class boarding pass was an upgrade.
SQ only allows one-cabin upgrades and Y to J is only possible on flights without PE. You can upgrade from PE to J or J to F but not PE to F.
