I have had both of these pay as GS.
I believe that you are correct in the above scenarios and both of these situations would pay as a GS even though it was an "on-call" day. Other than those two situations, I am not sure that it would be a GS.
Not sure about schedulers letting you move an X day to an on call day but its worth a try.

Here's how it works: I'm on RES. Today and tomorrow are my last 2 days on call for this block, then I have 2 days off. I've put in for a blanket 4 day GS request, and I happen to get assigned one starting tomorrow (which is an on-call day). This trip has a 30 hr layo on day 2, so there is no duty period. This trip is 4 days long, the first and last days of the trip I'm on-call, and the 2 middle days are X days on my schedule.
I can request through SKEDS that one of those X days (has to be within the rotation, and not have a duty period) be moved to the first day of the rotation. In this senario, this will give me pay above guarantee on day one (hopefully high time on day one), pay and credit for day 2 (no duty period, and all credit is paid on the last day of a rotation), pay above guarantee on day 3, and pay and credit for day 4. In this case, I'm getting more money paid above guarantee (GS pay for RES), because I moved that X day from a non-duty period day, to day one. So essentially, I'm now getting 2 days paid above guarantee instead of 1. You will also receive 2 PB days for this trip.
Clear as mud?
