Why? I get Network Card discounts on tickets from Cambridge
that include Underground travel, day Travelcards and tickets to
Underground zones.

You only get the Railcard discounts on the NR part of the fare,
not the Tube part. (Though through fares are now calculated in a
complicated and obscure way, and I'm not sure they're even the
sum of NR and Tube parts any more.)

Not so. The Day travelcard fare gets 34% off just like the London
Terminals Cheap Day Return does.

Examples:
Cambridge-London Terminals CDR: 17.60, with Network card: 11.60.
66% of 17.60=11.62.
Cambridge Day Travelcard: 22.50 with Network card: 14.85. 66% of
22.50=14.85.

What about through fares to Underground zones? For example,
Cambridge to Morden?

Not sold as that AIUI. Cambridge to Zones 1 & 2 Saver Return: 29.00,
with Network card: 19:15 66% of 29.00=19.14
