I suspect the confusion arises from the LCRI on reproductions, which
was counter to AACR2, and some seem to be carrying over to RDA.

In both AACR2 and RDA one catalogues what one has (i.e., no 533).

For a print item, reproduction or not:

336  $atext$2rdacontent
337  $aunmediated$2rdamedia 
338  $avolume$2rdacarrier

The fact that it is a printout from an electronic resource is
recorded elsewhere.  Too bad we lost 503.
