Getting sketchy details. One engine or two, birds etc. Heathrow to Oslo. Airbus A319. Right engine trailing smoke, left engine missing cowl in flight.

Doesn't look like a birdstrike to me. No bloodstains; no visible dents in wing leading edge or engine inlet leading edges (from the passenger video). Finally, if it had been a birdstrike, with internal engine damage, I don't think it would just symmetrically remove both cowl panels.
To me, looks like someone was doing maintenance on both engines, and the cowls weren't latched properly.
