What about that distinction itself, though: can it be characterized as
“analytic” (coming from mathematics) or “empirical” (coming from
experience)?

You know that's a very usual question about the "essence or existence"
of these objects of the "noumena or phenomena".
I heartily encourage you to consult such masters of the canon of
the dogma and doctrine of philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology,
the semiotics, and logicism and positivism, in the exploration
of the consideration of idealism and nominalism.
A most usual notion is that individuals are objective and their
own objects, establishing among them or each other, the
intersubjectivity, as with regards to interobjectivity, as you raise the
point of the object/subject distinction, in reference, and perspective.
Warm regards and good luck in your philosophical studies, into
the theories of the universe of objects logical and mathematical
and the natural sciences.
You know that's a very usual question and it's thoroughly
explored since antiquity in the dogma and doctrine of
the fundamentals of the theories of logic and mathematics,
and, philosophy, the nature of being, and truth, over time.
I address some such things in my podcasts which are of the
spoken word audio sort.
Warm regards and good luck in your endeavors.
