Bandcamp track URL and "purchase for download" when you can't purchase individual tracks

If an artist has disabled the ability to purchase individual tracks from an album (so that you can only purchase the entire album) on Bandcamp, should the track’s individual URL still be marked as “purchase for download” in the recording on MusicBrainz?

The album in question is Unrealistic Project Roadmap. If you open the pages for any of the individual tracks, you’ll find that you can only purchase the album as a unit.

Well, they are still streamable, so each recording can have stream for free selected for each URL. Were they ever able to be purchased? If so, you can just mark each URL on the individual recordings as purchase but ended. If not, just keep it stream for free only.
