Narrative:

I was cleared to land on runway 20L at pdk and told to report 3 mi from airport to enter left downwind. I was east of airport at 3.5 mi. Tower told me to cross airport at pattern altitude and enter right downwind for runway 20R instead (it was very busy). I was told to follow an aircraft on 1 mi final. I saw what I thought was this aircraft, reported right base and entered final and landed. After taxiing clear of runway 20R I heard a pilot (a bonanza I think) ask the tower 'why did that last aircraft land on runway 20R he was very close to me.' the tower stated that 'he was changed to runway 20R ' I have no idea how close we were or what aircraft this was. The tower said nothing to me.
