Exit Row seat selection BAEC Silver

When does Exit Row seat selection become free for BAEC silver members on long haul? And does it make a different that's it's a BA flight on a IB flight number?

Also, do I get lounge access for IB flights as a BAEC silver? Outbound flights are BA and inbound flights AA both under IB codes.

Thanks

According to this it would be 4 days from departures https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20030939-post3.html which I am currently within.

I don't see it saying that? It accords with what I remember from the last time that I looked: 4 days before the flight, you cease to be able to pay for an exit row even if you still want one.

IIRC, they are free to Silvers at OLCI.

Presumably, pre-choosing another seat/row won’t preclude you doing this? i.e when you OLCI, you will be able see the seat map and make a change if you see any exit rows seats available?
