That report refers to IAE V2500 engines, this aircraft has CFM56-5's. I know that the BA and GB airways Airbuses have to have a duplicate inspection for correct cowling closure due to a number of incidents previously on the V2500 powered aircraft. The latches were modified on that engine. This looks more like an oversight by someone, though if a cowling is unlatched the latches tend to hang down so should be obvious on a walk round.
