An individual may (without the correct cat# shown on the cover) search for an entry by the cat# shown on the disc/label in which case the entry would not show in the database. By recording all cat#'s and explaining the error(s) in the notes all eventualities are covered.

Exactly! Wrong number or no, if it's the number which has been printed on the disc or label, to some extent that IS its catalogue number, so it makes perfect sense to show both the correct number and the wrong number to help people identify the record that they may have in front of them.

They might equally ask the question "What's the point of putting a number on the database which doesn't even show on the disc?" ... Which is PRECISELY why we put both correct and incorrect numbers as alternatives or in notes.
