Do you mean that there's no chance that the ids defined in LOADSEL would 
shift to clear the conflict ?

I see your point: M3UA defines the same Reg-Result, Dereg-Result, 
Reg-Status, Dereg-Status and Local-RK-id Parameters as SUA, but in the 
M3UA-Class, for historical reasons.
Defining them in Class-00 for SUA is a way to push towards using these 
Parameters rather than defining new ones for any new UA that would use 
similar procedures.
I totally agree with that.

Indeed.
