I don't think you can be in first class after the layover - unless your deviation plans resulted in a shorter-than-legal layover. Then it would be seen as a continuous duty period and you could get first class.
After a 36 hour layover, it's new duty period and the DH has to be over 5 block hours to get FC. ANC trips with a DH to or from NRT usually go through SEA with a layover there. The legs between ANC and SEA are always coach while the legs to/from NRT are in first.
