EQM/EQD credit for a BA consolidator ticket

I am considering purchase of a BA consolidator fare, which will not show the actual fare on the ticket. Does anyone know if I will earn EQD/EQM on the flight?

PS. Unless you are sure (preferably from personal experience), please do not answer as I would hate to fly half way across the world and find I got no mileage credit!

Are these codeshare flights with AA flight numbers, BA flight numbers or the numbers of another airline?

No codeshare,..BA operated with BA flight numbers. On a normal ticket (i.e. one showing the fare) they would qualify for full EQM / EQD depending upon the reservation class

Having a bulk fare makes no difference earnings wise in my experience.

It will depend upon who is issuing your ticket, how your ticket is purchased, and the fare class you are booked in. Some consolidator purchased tickets may be fine, others not so much.
From advantage terms and conditions:
Certain airline tickets are not eligible for earning mileage credit. These include, without limitation, the following: all tickets issued as AAdvantage® awards or other free ticket promotions including free or reduced rate tickets; companion tickets; charter flight tickets; travel agency/industry reduced rate tickets; infant tickets; items occupying a purchased seat; unpublished fare tickets, including consolidator fares, tickets issued as a result of a fare published inadvertently or by mistake and tickets issued subject to special provisions.

For partner carrier tickets all that matters is the booking code. You should earn via the BA table at aa.com for whatever fare code the ticket ultimately books into.
