Such a beautiful chord! I feel like labeling it either way is kind of missing the point, since chords in that piece have no functionality, they are used merely for their colours. (Farben, in german).
I love this chord! You’re right that it doesn’t have a functional role. The labeling is just a way for me to remember the chord so can practice it and make it part of my vocabulary. The labeling also helps me build a library of alternate voicings. In this case it’s an interesting way to conceive of AmM9.

This looks like what barry harris would call a c6 with 2 borrowed diminished notes from the dominant
Interesting! I don't know much of Harris's work but you've inspired me to dig more into it. So are the 2 borrowed notes the Ab and B?
