If I recall correctly, these rules are in Redhat's policy.
The interface ipsec_labeled(domain) allows types with
domain attribute to polmatch to ipsec_spd_t and to also
have recvfrom and sendto permissions. When you did
domain_type(brindle_server_t) and domain_type(brindle_clent_t)
they acquired the domain attribute.

As long as you use ipsec_spd_t as default ipsec policy type,
things should work without having to add new policy for labeled ipsec.
However, if you create or use a new ipsec policy type other
than ipsec_spd_t, you will need new rules to get labeled ipsec working.

What I am not sure I understand is why you want to add mls constraints to 
these rules. I think mls constraints already exist for "association".
Unless you want to add them for your client and server...
