Alternate CD matrix/runout inscriptions: enough for a new release?

Yes it does.
Different anything makes it different release.
Different manufacturer means different release-label relationship and (if uploaded) different scans.

To add to that, a different manufacturer can also lead to a different CD master which can lead to different track times and different therefore discIDs.

By this reasoning, every variant in Matrix, Mastering SID Code or Mould SID Code would be a separate release.
