If I find a GPL-3 full text document in a repo I can not be sure if is is "*-only" or "-or-later". Only an additional comment somewhere else could make it clear.

Not to get pedantic, but if you *only* find a GPL-3 full text document in a repo without any indication in individual files as to how it applies to them, it may be entirely irrelevant anyway. As with a majority of popular free/libre open source licenses I've used, the instructions for applying it include indicators in the affected files. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html where it states that you should "Give each file the proper copyright notices. Make sure to clearly identify which versions of the license users can use."
