What research experience do you have? I believe this will be crucial. This is a very solid profile in terms of academics (and I don't think you really need more, although would strongly recommend a few stats courses e.g. time series, stochastic processes if you plan to do asset pricing; although econometrics from LSE should be already very good), but you haven't mentioned much about research. If you have good research experience + excellent LORs then yeah, applying to these top schools is reasonable. Where will you be doing the masters? Will you be able to do much research there?

Don't know too much about this, but I believe usually Operations Management is affiliated with business schools, so a PhD in Operations Management gives you a slightly greater advantage (all other things equal) if you are applying for a business school position in academia.
