I have no OW status but on a recent JL award redemption, I called in to request a window seat and the agent was able to put in a request. After the call, I was (almost immediately) assigned a window seat that was marked "blocked" on expertflyer.

As a one world Sapphire, you can select the following business class window seats
From row 5 on the 767, 787 and 772 (excludes rows 1-4 window seats)
From main cabin on the 777W (excludes whole of mini cabin)
As a non-status passenger (or Ruby member), you can only select the following business class window seats
From second row onward of second cabin on the 767, 787 and 772 (excludes all of the forward cabin window seats and first/exit row of main cabin)
From second row onward of main cabin on the 777W (excludes whole of mini cabin and first/exit row of main cabin)
As a OWE, you have unlimited access.

I have gone up through the ranks on JAL JMB elite status, and since I travel on them a lot, got to see what the offerings are.
Great thing is, its free for all at OCLI (T-24).
So, set your alarm and do OLCI on the dot, and you might even grab seat 1A (or window on row 5 in the mini-cabin on the 77W)!

Prefer to have children seated at mini J cabin, closer to F, but it seems, with or without MPC GO, we need to wait till OCLI.

Yes. that mini-cabin is guarded, for status pax only until OCLI, and you get what remains by then (the mini-cabin middle seats usually remain empty unless the whole flight gets full)
