Both are correct because 'another' can be both an adjective and a pronoun.
If it is an adjective it is used with a noun (another one of ...).
If it is a pronoun it is used alone (another of ...).
See the entry from Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/another:
another
adjective
1: different or distinct from the one first considered
// the same scene viewed from another
angle
2: some other
// do
it another
time
3: being one more in addition to one or more of the same kind
// have another
piece of pie
another
pronoun
: an additional one of the same kind,
one more
// one copy to send out, another
for the files
