Umm... no. I suspect you mean:
sr15 - first CDROM, fifteenth partition sr16 - second CDROM, whole disk sr17 - second CDROM, first partition
But what a bad idea for device names. Why not
sr0 whole disc sr0a ... sr0o partitions sr1, sr1a ... sr1o
It's probably too late to be consistent with discs and call them sra, sra1, ... sra15 srb, srb1, ... srb15
