BR fare class: as ticketed or upgraded when crediting to UA MP?

I apologize that I couldn't think on a succinct yet descriptive way to title the thread.

I booked BR travel on BR ticket stock as B-fare. If crediting to UA MP, this would accrue 100% mileage. My mileage upgrade cleared, and from previous experience, the fare class changes to Z. Per UA MP mileage accrual chart, Z fares are non-mileage earning, so I previously credited all such fares to my BR Infinity Mileagelands account. Although I feel that I have a good argument for my ticket being a B-fare (since that's what I purchased), I feel hesitant to attempt crediting to UA MP if I run the chance of receiving no mileage credit at all. For clarification, BR is Eva Airways.

Has anyone credited an upgraded BR Y/B fares to UA MP? I'd appreciate a real data point if anyone has one. Thank you!

Where do you see Z doesn't earn miles?

Edit - Nevermind...I made the Brussels Airlines rookie mistake. Sorry.

In this case, wouldn't the original ticketed class (B) be used rather than the upgraded inventory class (Z)?
