So we're talking lounges not explicitly excluded from OneWorld arrangements. OneWorld Emeralds surely have access to these, whatever their class of travel and whatever the fare designation of their ticket.

Not quite what I meant. There was a suggestion that QR refuses to allow P-fare passengers access to its out-station lounges, even where these hold OneWorld status

Qatar Airways “Business Lite” fares are not eligible for lounge access.
Finnair “Business Light” fares are not eligible for lounge access.

Thank you that’s really helpful - so to clarify if I book it through the BA app and it is quoting a BA flight number I have the full lounge etc privileges? One final question if I get ‘covided’ and need to cancel the flight do I get the BA E voucher/FTV or Qatar? Many thanks again
If you need to seek a change to your ticket sold by BA due to COVID stuff it will be BA's polices that apply as that's who you have contracted with for your ticket.

If you book with BA in business class you don't need to be concerned about lounge access etc. You will get s normal business class service.

Using AT, MH or RJ's MMB allows me to go to select seats, where every single seat is blocked.
BA cannot help, they contacted the OW helpdesk, who said seat assignments were not currently available on my booking and to try later or at OLCI.

Just booked a RT from DFW-DOH-DXB thru QR website
DFW-DOH — P class
DOH-DXB-DOH — A class
DOH-DFW — I class
Was allowed to pick my seats for free during booking process for all flights. I picked the cheapest fare since my layover is only 1hr for my connecting flight to DXB and back to DOH.

Yes any QR operated flight booked via any non-QR stock, which is ticketed as Business class ticket will be entitled to Al Mourjan access. Doesn’t matter whether the non-QR stock is ticketed with a QR flight number or a codeshare. Of course in your case, as you’re booking via BA, a BA codeshare would be more beneficial purely for the extra Avios earning. Having said that, good luck having seat assignments arranged if it’s booked as a codeshare!! (Having said that, depending on your luck, the QR Twitter team usually should be able to help).
