$8 might be appropriate to use for that as it could link all notes about a particular format together and has a byte for reproduction. See: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdcntf.html
Also, $8 would be consistent with its use in the MARC holdings format if we ever wanted to migrate some of that information to the holdings record.

Maybe instead of a $5 in 8XX for the institution to which the field 
applies, we need a new subfield for the version to which the field 
applies?  Kind of like the $d that we have in the 6XX series authority 
fields which encodes volumes/dates to which the data in the field applies.
