I can't remember what kind is at Gunnersbury etc, but on the
Bakerloo shared sections, I think the markers are NR style.

For both the Underground and Overground, right?

The Overground has "3 car stop" and "6 car stop" signs (or "S
car stop" at some stations instead),

I thought the "S car stop" was what they used for both on the
District, though I could be wrong.

though 6 car trains never run (and it
may not even be possible).

Why would it not be possible?

The power supply may not be able to cope with the current drawn
by a 6-car 313 accelerating.

In the past, there have been 6-car 313s on the Euston - Watford DC
lines. I can certainly recall them being used at weekends when there
were blockades on the WCML, although not recently.

As I said, there are plenty of 6-car 313 trains on the line they were
delivered for, the GN.
