Both these format should probably be treated as BASE_HEX, I can’t think of a case where something expressed in “units” would need a HEX representation.
I would think the prime usage for BASE_HEX, BASE_DEC_HEX and BASE_HEX_DEC is when a standard document expresses IEs or Messages in HEX to ease comparison with the standard document.
