How would you catalog or label a replacement print of a flawed print?

The museum purchased a print from a gallery in 2011. The original had a flaw in the negative, which transferred to the image. The curator brought this to the photographer’s attention and the photographer made a replacement image for the museum. This replacement image arrived at the museum this year. 

How would you label the replacement image? Would you assign a new accession number to reflect the year in which it arrived at the museum?  Or would you add it as a component to the previous print? Or would you do something else?

Thanks,
Liz Rodgers
Assistant Registrar
