Even the LBA flight has a QR codeshare, but I don't expect to see any QR aircraft appearing at LBA!
I suspect the only noticeable thing you will see on MMB and ba.com is a change from operated by BA to operated by Qatar.

On the one hand the aviation geek in me hopes I get to fly on one of these birds, as I’m unlikely to see a shorthaul QR product any other way.
On the other hand the sensible on-the-side-of-the-crew in me thinks this is a very poor decision by the CAA — there were crews and frames available in the EU, BA just weren’t prepared to pay for them.

As per EU2111/05 BA will have to inform their passengers that the flight(s) are now being operated by another carrier (under wetlease), so the moment the schedule is firm altea should generate updates...

I have a feeling LHR to Dublin flights BA832 & BA830 on July 3rd will be Qatar A320's.
Last week I noticed these flights showing no availability on Expert Flyer - they now show plenty of seats on A320's with rows 1-3 as Club on the seat map.

BA711 tomorrow seems to be operated by a QR A320. I got a myflightsapp notification and the EF seatmap looks odd:
