It's generally too much fancy footwork for me to figure out, but some of the trips are obvious that they're block time trips. It's paid on block time if you add up your block time, plus deadhead time, and that totals the pay.

If the block hours equal the CH then it obviously is a block time trip.
If by the Credit Hours it has a T (e.g. 26:34T), then it is a trip rig or TAFB paid trip.
If it is a one day trip and pays more than 6:00CH it could be a combo of duty rig, or block time and MPDP (min pay per duty period).
If neither is true then it is a MPDP.
A trip can change the way it is paid depending upon when you actually block in and how much you block.
This does not answer your question completely. The long haul int'l has other pay consequences, but this should cover most general pay purposes.

Regardless, if a trip is revised on the backend and the crew can't possibly make the scheduled flight back -- they have to revise it and rebook legal tickets.
You're authorized to take the whole layover -- regardless of what you actually do.
The revision could affect pay, per diem, travel bank etc --- all on your favor.
My main point: The company is deciding to schedule and interpret the contract very, very "efficiently" to reduce their costs --- pay close attention to your pairing & what's going on around you.,.and make sure you don't inadvertently (or lackadaisically) help them reduce your negotiated compensation
