My parents are travelling on Eurostar next week. They hold Senior Railcards and I'm intending to purchase tickets to London International CIV for them - EURO STD RETURN tickets such as those shown below:

Their Eurostar is due to depart at 11:00 so to avoid cutting things tight for the "check-in" time they'll need to depart before 09:30 - inside what's normally considered to the morning peak from their station - Harlington (Beds).
Is their railcard valid to use on this ticket for travel at this time? I see the following when I search online:
However, the only website I know of that allows tickets to London International CIV to be purchased online (raileasy.co.uk) allows an itinerary to be priced for travel at 08:00 outwards with a Senior Railcard discount.
I want to avoid any hassle for my parents so I'd prefer they have a ticket that won't have a strong possibility of staff suggesting their ticket is invalid.

Railcard discounts are available throughout Britain but they are not available on tickets for morning peak period services for journeys wholly within London & South East Network Railcard area on Mondays to Fridays.
