Is the label here really Sire or is it Rhino or is it Sire / Rhino or Rhino / Sire as I have listed one here. Rhino vinyl seems to have access to the WEA back catalogue and has re-released a lot of stuff from the old Sire and Elektra labels. This problem is compounded by the different rights and even different labels in some cases that existed at the time of the original releases (ie. The Cure). Further complicated by the fact that some of these albums are made in the EU and repackaged in US jackets. Here's an example of that happening it doesn't make it easy does it?

IMO the labels are Sire and Elektra for the examples above. Rhino is only mentioned in the perimeter text and it is owned by the Warner Music Group.

warner music group (then part of time warner) have owned half of rhino entertainment since 1992, when they bought a 50% share as part of taking over distribution (previously capitol/emi), and all of it since 1998; prior to this it was an independent.
rhino's founders, harold bronson and richard foos, left the warner music group-owned company in 2003, setting up shout! factory.
rhino records uk seems to be the continuation of warner strategic marketing.

that the re-releases are actually by rhino, albeit using the images of another music label, ought (imnsho) to be recognised in the "cdcat" listing, by the suggested option of "$foo / rhino".
