How can you prove anything in aviation? It's very much a honor system.
Many pilots have logged SIC in Caravans, 172's etc, but I'm just saying it's not 100% kosher and clear cut if you read the regs. Logging PIC is. There is zero ambiguity about it. As long as you are honest about it.
I forgot BTQ pilots are "seat locked". At our PC12 operation, PF is always left seat, even though we do get qualified to fly from both seats.
