I believe that “Add Label” is intended for cases where a single release is double branded. For instance many of the [Original Jazz Classics](https://musicbrainz.org/label/4876cd23-c4ab-4ac5-9b49-e8ed14bc22f8) reissues have both the OJC logo and the original issuing label, often with catalog numbers for both ([example](https://musicbrainz.org/release/f92378a5-640a-4b88-a915-79fccbb9bdef)). It sounds like your case would call for a separate release.

Once you get to the level of disc matrices, things are muddier. There’s a [forum discussion](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/alternate-cd-matrix-runout-inscriptions-enough-for-a-new-release/79829) on that subject.
