You're right, the triangular hexadude can only be marked thus
(apologies for crude ascii drawing):
        +
       /|\
      / | \
     +. | .+
    /  :+:  \
   /.-' | `-.\
  +-----+-----+

When I marked up my cardboard hexadudes,
the only one that seemed ambiguous was the P, which is rectilinear:
  +--+--+   +--+--+
  | / \ |   |\   /|
  |/   \|   | \ / |
  +--+--+   +--+--+
  |\ |      | /|
  | \|      |/ |
  +--+      +--+
