Naruto's cloaks change all the freaking time, his modes should not be purely identified based on the form of his cloak, but based on his eyes. The first time Naruto used Six Paths Sage Mode there was no cloak at all, just Sage Mode eyes without pigmentation. Therefore, SPSM is identified by the lack of pigmentation. The cloaks are irrelevant, the cloak Naruto adorned and added to the mode was the chakra of all of the tailed beasts which resulted in that type of cloak. Which he only used against Madara, Kaguya, and later Sasuke.

In The Last, Naruto used Kurama Mode and Sage Mode as he clearly had pigmentation and was fully synchronized with Kurama and was able to temporarily use Tailed Beast Mode and project it outside of his body.

In Gaiden, Naruto used Six Paths Sage Mode and either Nine-Tails Chakra Mode or Kurama Mode, although Kurama Mode is more likely since there really isn't a need for NTCM anymore. This is made clear due to the lack of pigmentation around his eyes.

In Boruto, Naruto used Six Paths Sage Mode and Kurama Mode because there was no pigmentation around the eyes, and he was clearly able to use Tailed Beast Mode which signifies he was fully synced which means it was Kurama Mode, the complete version of NTCM. If you look at the eyes, instead of his forever changing cloaks, it becomes pretty easy to identify and separate his forms.
