Thing is, recovery media would be matched to the keys he has on these machines already, right? Regardless of whether these machines come with OEM, OA, or OLP, if he requests the media from the same company that produced the machines with those keys matched to them, then he gets the right OS version no matter what.
No need to figure out what the OA stands for, or whether that means you should be looking for OEM or OLP, just order those discs. My company sold HP elitebooks and the big server looking desktops to a crap-ton of companies in T.O. here, and I know they're separate dvd's. Companies were constantly going back and forth with which they wanted, so I was probably wiping/restoring like 20-30 a week most times.
