Hi Michal,
I would stay with information=guidepost for those.
They serve exactly the same purpose, so they should get the same major
tag. It's only the way the sign is made that is different. You can add
the common tags like "support", "material", "location" or "colour" to
give further details about the style of the marker.
If it's really needed, we can also add another tag to specify the type
of marker. Unfortunately guidepost=* has already been taken for
something different, so one could define guidepost:type=*.

I agree that a slightly metaphorical use of information=guidepost is the
best idea here -- it doesn't have to be a literal post. (A trail blaze
was originally a physical scratch in the tree bark, but it's rare to see
that now and the meaning has expanded to accommodate other styles.)
All of the alternative guideposts that Michal mentioned -- rock faces,
trees, walls, similar existing surfaces -- would be best encoded using
the location=* tag IMO.
