> How to distinguish between an icon that 'is' the label, and an icon ALSO added to the label, but without the icon would still make sense?

I think you just distinguished them!

If an icon has text and it would make sense when removed, it is not in scope. An icon can be part of a label, but it has to be the label to be in scope.
