Narrative:

I am a maintenance supervisor in ZZZ1 and was called by ZZZ maintenance control about aircraft X; an A319 aircraft that had an O2 oxygen [mask] drop check the night before in ZZZ. A maintenance supervisor in ZZZ called me [at ZZZ1] the following morning; to ask if we could look at a panel that was taped up. I thought it was a 'blanking' plate. He told me that aircraft X [would be] spending the night in ZZZ2. I wrote on our information board to let dayshift know. Later in the morning; mr. Y [here in ZZZ1]; answered the phone and maintenance control in ZZZ [informed him] they had changed the tail number to aircraft X; that had spent the night in ZZZ3. They had [originally] told me it was aircraft Y. I had told mr. Z; [also in ZZZ1 with me]; that the flight information was on our information board when I saw him in the morning. I was told that aircraft X had flown several days with the [flight attendant jumpseat] O2 mask box taped up. Tape should have been removed prior to flight. [This was] improper maintenance.
