Narrative:
After approach cleared our aircraft for a visual approach to runway 24R at lax, they sent us to tower frequency. My captain then put us on south tower frequency by accident. Upon landing we noticed the wrong frequency, but still thought we had received clearance to land. We then switched back to north tower frequency on landing roll. They didn't indicate anything was wrong. Lesson learned: don't rush, dial in correct frequencys. Supplemental information from acn 322587: however, looking back on it, I can't be sure I received clearance from the other tower frequency. I just rushed myself too much.
