Disclaimer- this is how it was in 2015 last time I had to do it- it may have changed since. After a horrific BA premium economy sin-Syd I promised I wouldn’t fly with them again!!
I think you are correct in that bronze members can select seats earlier, but BA do not make this immediately obvious.
It seems to me that BA are so confused as to their position in the flight market (loco with a premium cabin or full service airline with cheap seats at the back) that they have no idea what to do with their Executive Club members.
