Absolutely no question. LHR-MCT and MCT-AUH are different flight numbers to each other, as are AUH-MCT and MCT-LHR, and the same flight number route pairings LHR-MCT and AUH-MCT (and MCT-AUH and MCT-LHR) are flown on different days.

Further,
Moomba advises even done on the same day works.

In fact LHR-AUH-MCT-AUH-LHR on the same ticket should be easier than described above (which is when the tag leg is booked on different ticket) since can get the LHR-AUH and AUH-MCT boarding passes in London and the MCT-AUH and AUH-LHR boarding passes in Muscat. This then saves a day over my suggestion, earns the same number of tier points, but slightly less miles.
