See above message from BA6501.
As mentioned, when it’s 125-123456789-90 it’s a conjunction ticket.... an e-ticket can hold 4 sectors per e-ticket, when a booking contains more than 4 sectors you get conjunction tickets, with maximum of 4 conjunction tickets (so maximum 16 sectors)
Conjunction tickets will always be consecutive numbers.
Separate tickets under one PNR (usually booked through agents) is when it’s literally 2 separate e-tickets contained within one PNR.
If you booked 2 separate tickets (assuming you mean 2 separate PNRs too) MAN - LHR one booking, LHR - NCE another booking, as long as they contain the Fare basis V2 (basically, not a HBO or redemption ticket etc) then yes you could do SDC as long as there is the availability in the cabin you have booked.
Remember though, if separate tickets your bags won’t be through checked (if you have any) and although this is not currently the case, for a short time if you missed your connecting flight you was charged to change it (although a savvy traveller would just same day change the connecting flight to the later flight as soon as finding out about the delay if the new ETA got them there in time for the last flight)
