Digital recorder question

I have a 16 bit digital recorder and when recording a random LP at maximum analog input gain of +6db it creates a digital file at 50% maximum scale - a 15 bit digital recording not a 16 bit recording.

If I swapped in 24 bit digital recorder with the same input impedance and record the same LP with the same maximum gain (+6db) would it produce a digital file at 50% maximum scale - a 23 bit digital recording not a 24 bit recording?

I don't know and I want to know before considering which if any 24 bit recorder I want to purchase.
