What you need is a different label for same prefix per MTID/algorithm -
that we agree on.
To achieve that you either need single SID and per MTID/algorithm SRGB
or single SRGB with per MTID/algorithm SIDs.

If you look at OSPF encoding, both MTID and algorithm are inside the
Prefix-SID sub-TLV. ISIS has MTID in the Prefix TLV and algorithm in
Prefix SID sub-TLV. Nevertheless, from the architecture perspective both
IGPs assumed the same. The SR architecture from the very beginning
assumed per MTID/algorithm SID, not per MTID/algorithm SRGB and IGP
encoding has been designed with that in mind.

If you add MTID and algorithm in SRGB as well, you end up with the MTID
and algorithm fields at two different TLVs for the same topology -
inside SRGB and inside the Prefix SID sub-TLV, which is clearly redundant.

you need different labels for same prefix in different topologies, that
does not mean you need a different SRGB. Please do not present your
solution as a requirement.

thanks,
