AC Canada ticket YOW- BCN- upgraded on AC flights- any upgrade options on LH?
I have bought a revenue ticket from AC for a trip in Sept 2024 - Canada --FRA- BNC-FRA-Canada.
FRA - BCN and BCN- FRA on LH; other flights on AC.
It is a B fare ticket- essentially full fare economy. Subject to availability- AC customers with status can use their electronic upgrade credits to upgrade on AC flights at time of purchase- if upgrade space available. I have done so on the AC flights.
How can one upgrade on the LH flights?

You can submit a myoffer bid to upgrade or upgrade using AC miles. Question is if it’s really worth the cost for a two hour flight.

Does LH offer upgrade certificates or upgrade credits? Maybe i ask someone for such upgrade credits for some other benefit in kind?
AC does have a similar process to LH "my offer"upgrade requests (for a cost of course)

LH M&M upgrade evouchers are far too precious to use on FRA-BCN 
All that remains is to bid with cash for an upgrade via plusgrade/myoffer:

Begging/bartering for upgrades is against FT Rule 10

This is an AC ticket- but on my AC account on the AC website- the LH flight numbers are listed, not AC codeshared flight numbers.
My travel agent went through AC reservations (as a mixed AC/LH routing could not be obtained at least for this routing, either on the customer's or travel agent's AC web site). I would have thought in this scenario, I would only see AC codeshared flight numbers, but not LH flight numbers.
Any explanations?
I guess if I go to coupon connection, my flights might only be upgradeable ? by LH points or ?LH upgrade certificates- if my 2 LH flights are LH designated?
