Well, I do recall pointing out to you that duplicate labels will be a
problem.  The fix required is to change one of them.  I would relabel
your *new* partitions, that leaves your previously set up system still
working.

That's throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

If you're mounting via labels, you need to ensure drive partitions have
unique labels.  If you've ended up with a duplicate, you only have to
mount the drive without using the labels (you're not removing the
labels, just not making use of them).
