I don't think this looks like a case of apposition; noun-noun compounds cover a wide range of relations, and this seems to be in keeping with that.

That's exactly my point. So if "apposition" is not the correct word, how
would you describe this ..."situation" or "construction"?
The word is genitive. The first noun of a noun-noun construction is a genitive noun. A genitive noun is a noun that modifies the sense of another noun.

Apposition, on the other hand, is where two nouns or noun phrases
are side by side, and one further identifies the other.
