If you are signed up as a Norwegian member then , yes you are fine as far as the tier statuses go.
You will need to do 4 BA sectors to get the Silver status plus 4 for the Gold after attaining silver which could actually mean that you wouldnt get your silver status until you get to LHR. Perhaps you could change your route a bit and do OSL-MAN-LHR-DXB-LHR to guarantee meeting the sector requirements.
Codeshares do count towards the 4 BA sectors required and BA do codeshare on SYD-BNE , so perhaps you could use BA on SYD-BNE, BNE-SYD as well as NRT-LHR and LHR-OSL to ensure Gold status which will save you doing another trip to get it.

I'm time constrained on this trip, so I do not have much room for this; I'm doing the morning flight from OSL til LHR and following on with LHR-DXB at lunchtime and back on the same aircraft I'm flying out to DXB on before heading off to DUB with EI.
However, if I booked the EI flight LHR-DUB on the BA codeshare, then I'd have my 4 segments on my way out of Europe, and then I'd only need 4 segments some other time to attain the gold card? I am flying BA on NRT-LHR-OSL too, so putting myself on the BA codeshare on SYD-BNE-SYD would solve the 4-segment problem ont he way home?
