Deborah Fritz said concerning stereographic images in a volume:

I nearly always agree with the brilliant Deborah.  But in this case, I
think it would be better to be truthful, and more helpful, to use
"volume", even if it means mixing and matching.  "Other" is not
helpful to anybody.  A volume is what one has in this case.

I supposed it is a matter of being pragmatic vs. obeying the letter of
rules. The world of library resources is far too varied to force into
preconceived categories, without some leeway.
