I think it depends on the context whether you are fine with an
(InetAddressType, InetAddress) pair or whether you need an
(InetAddressType, InetAddress, InetAdressPrefixLength) tuple.

The DISMAN-PING-MIB for example is just fine with the
(InetAddressType, InetAddress) pair while a forwarding MIB most likely
requires an (InetAddressType, InetAddress, InetAdressPrefixLength)
tuple.
