The Mizrachi quotes the Gemara as “????? ?? ????” and “?????? ?? ??????”.
The mefarshim discuss an apparent contradiction: Here we see that the mitzva was due to Avraham’s zechus but in the end of parshas Noach we see that it was due to Shem’s zechus. The mefarshim all give different answers but all explaining some kind of combintion of Avraham’s zechus and Shem’s zechus. Utilizing this concept, this could be viewed as each of them contributing to half of the mitzva. Thus it would be accurate to refer to Avraham’s share as “??? ?? ????” even according to Rashi/Tosfos because that’s Avraham’s half.
