They are not outlines, they are lines crossed, but many people still refer to them as "stars", probably because they are similar to the shapes on the series at 67v.

Just because they are the same shape doesn't mean they have to have the same meaning. A star on a picture of Bethlehem has a different significance from a star on the end of a stick on a shield (which is a mace, a weapon, not a celestial star), and is also different from a star in a beaker in an alchemical drawing, and different again from a star on a marine map.
To be honest, I don't understand what you mean by the "another shape". As for me, they absolutely identical.
As for the different meaning of the symbol, of course, it is not surprising in different maps or depictions in works with quite different context, it is strange to give different meanings for the same symbol in the same map, diagram or depiction.
