It is a weakness of the USB consortia paper process to not enforce labeling on their hardware, cables and ports. Same physical port does not really matter. Also operating systems could help with clarifying the ports without special tools. Would be so easy.
The USB-IF already has labeling guidelines[0], pretty much all manufacturers just chose to completely ignore them.
