Since you still haven’t clearly articulated what you mean by “scope” with respect to ULA, it doesn’t make sense to say that one ULA has the same or a different scope than another. In any case, what you are describing here is precisely what the “label” entry in an RFC 6724 policy table does. Which is to say, you are not talking about scopes.

Since the different treatment of GUAs and LLAs on a link is something that can be known by definition, and thus be handled by if-then-else statements rather than by table lookups, I would say that they are quite different.
