Thanks for the message.

I saw 8208, and it seemed to leave the question of condo status open.
I guess we need to see what is in town on the Oman side of the border
marked in the top of one of the graphics.

Tax flow doesn't necessarily confer sovereignty. There were one or
two Portuguese settlements in India in the 1600-1700 where a prince or
sultan or some such ruler there signed a treaty with the Portuguese
letting P collect taxes in the area to support their establishment,
but explicitly said the treaty conferred no sovereign rights. I know
that's esoteric, but it's not alone, just the first that came to mind.

Do you recall where the true Fujairah-Sharjah condo elsewhere is?
In any case, only between these two it isn't at an international
level, anymore.
