The old version of the website used to list the fare basis on the final checkout/payment page, when one clicked on the fare rules.
Perhaps, lookup expertflyer for the itinerary and the base fare amount to be sure?

many thanks for the inputs! You can still see the fare class if you book via the app. The flights I was looking at would book into the "P" bucket which seems to be the "Essential" fare. Still puzzles me that BA awards miles and status points for the cheaper I (Light fare) but none for P.

And given the poor relation between CX and BA, neither airline has an incentive to change it.
