Are the discounts only on Oyster off-peak fares? I think they would
be all the same in that case.
Network cards are strictly "after 10am", whereas the Senior Railcard is
"off-peak {may vary locally}"[1], and the F&F/TTG/Disabled Railcard is
"After 9.30am".
Even TfL admits: "The savings are slightly different for each card."

concessions/railcards
But how do they know, if all railcards are coded the same??
[1] For TfL fares their blanket off-peak is *depart* after 9.30, but for
National Rail the senior off-peak is *arrive* after 10am.

This isn't a Railcard matter but an off-peak matter - if you use Oyster
on NR I assume depart after 9:30 still applies?
Network cards should not allowed for Oyster discount
Why not, if you are using Oyster to make an NR journey (I've travelled
Vauxhall to Waterloo on SWT before now).
and F&F/TTG logically can't do it.
I'd forgotten that one-Oyster per bum gotcha.
