non-IDNA LDH Label ?

Is it correct to define the notion of "non-IDNA LDH Labels" as the union of 
"NR-LDH labels" and "Fake A-labels" ?

(figure 1 from -idnabis-defs-13 included below for convenience)

In other words, do "Fake A-labels" exist in the wild (whether or not their 
creation was purposeful or inadvertant) ?

thanks,
