Yes, You can name the media Type whatever you want.

This is more of a way to inform bacula that X media can only be used
in Y storage.  And X1 media can only be used in Y1 storage. It makes
no difference to bacula if X and X1 are the same physical type bacula
just knows that should be handled different.
