Only ~5k TP for £6k fare?

I posted a few days ago trying to estimate tier points for an upcoming trip booked via a 3rd party with mixed cabin class;

LHR-PHX fully flex premium economy (W selling class)

PHX-LHR business class (D selling class)

$7920 fare (exc taxes)

i managed to get BA on the phone and they said I'll only receive just under 5k tier points for this trip.

How are they calculating this? I'd expect ~$8k to roughly equal £6k, which should be 6k points, then the cabin bonuses on top. They refused to explain it on the call. I want to make sure I understand so I can make better booking choices next time. Any ideas how/why they use different tier point allocation rules?

How many tier points will I get?

I have a work trip coming up. It was booked through a 3rd party in usd. I have the final $ amount exc taxes and all the flight details but cant see how many points ill get. I think im only a few points shy of jumping from 0 to silver so want to know how much extra I need to spend to ensure 7,500 points. how can I work it out? BA support were more than unhelpful! Thanks
