Allocating multiple object type terms to grouping of material #12

Question on how to allocate multiple object type terms when making distinction between an album that contains 15 photographs and an album plus 15 loose photographs. Would they be expressed in the same way?

1 album: 15 photographs 1 album and 15 photographs 15 photographs in 1 album

The last option is how container element works which raises the question of what purpose do album, sketchbook and scrapbook play in object type? I've put a note in container suggesting that maybe at different levels of cataloguing you might want to use the container as the object type but at the moment only have these three specific suggestions.
