Your question is confusing...
when you ask
<<Two relations (relvalues) exists. These relations have different headers (schemas). Are these relvalues the values of different types?
>>

The tenure of your question seems to indicate you confuse a relvar and its projection as a table....These are 2 different concepts...

..relvars do not have header..header is associated to a projection as a human need for interpretation. only the body of the table represents a projection of a relvar...
a relvar can define a type only if it has set of operators associated to it...(see data type definitions). In case the operators and other data type prereq are defined... 2 different relvars are necessarily are possibly defining 2 separate types.
