Probably not OSPF related.  Can't rule it out but not likely unless
there is more information you haven't provided.

What's the subnet?  X.Y.Z.0/24 or X.Y.Z.J/27? 

Is this customer's IP in the middle or toward the edges of the subnet.
What's the IP?  X.Y.Z.13?

I would look for mismatched subnet masks.  

Or, firewall entries specific to that IP on Tower B.  

Or even, a static route on tower B sending the traffic for that IP to
the NOC or some other location.

You might show use the output of 

   /ip route print where dst-address in X.Y.Z.0/24

for each router from the NOC to the customer.

Munge the first two or three octets if it makes you feel better.  Just
don't munge anything that is within the subnet mask.
