Currently the livecd-tools generated initramfs is not smart enough to 
deal with distinguishing multiple live images.  A while back I submitted 
several livecd filesystem layout changes.  The ones that would have 
begun to  facilite distinguishable images haven't been merged yet.  And 
there is certainly room for discussion on alternate approaches.

But either way it's just a matter of bash scripting...

(Though actually I just looked again.  What I mentioned above was about 
the issues of storing multiple images on a single partition.  It may 
actually be much easier to already accomplish this with multiple 
partitions.  Still nothing that works out of the box, but perhaps doable 
already without changes to the initramfs)
