Your proposed tags provides a way to distinguish these.Sometimes slight variation in that the disk has been set into a concrete block on a hill etc, but the same for mapping purposes.
I am reminded of Cameron's Corner where a concrete pillar has been erected with a large brass plaque on to reporting it as the junction of 3 Australian states. In fact this is a tourist attraction and not the true survey mark. The true survey mark was subject to vandalism/souvenir and has been hidden to prevent further costs.
For this reason I would support not rendering benchmarks. I would be wary of the touristy type "survey marks". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Corner,_Queensland
