There is a third case. If your call is used at Richard's station (say in a multi-op contest), you may claim DXCC credit ONLY for those stations you personally work. An entity worked by someone besides you, while using your callsign at Richard's station, do not count.

10. All contacts must be made using callsigns issued to the same station
licensee. Contacts made by an operator other than the licensee must be made
from a station owned and usually operated by the licensee and must be made
in accordance with the regulations governing the license grant. Contacts may
be made from other stations provided they are personally made by the
licensee. The intent of this rule is to prohibit credit for contacts made
for you by another operator from another location. You may combine
confirmations from several callsigns held for credit to one DXCC award, as
long as the provisions of Rule 9 are met. Contacts made from club stations
using a club callsign may not be used for credit to an individual's DXCC.

---> My Take - I do MUCH of my operating from K5NA.  If I work a DX entity
"FROM" K5NA using Richard's call, Richard can claim DXCC credit - this would
be allowed under rule 10, as it's his station.  Likewise, if I work a DX
entity from K5NA's station using "MY" callsign, that is also allowed
(assuming it's still within my home DXCC entity) because, the contact is
"PERSONALLY" made by me.  The CAVEAT: Many consider it inappropriate to DX
using your own callsign with the Host's equipment during a contest.
Before-or-after is up to the Host.
