Anyone remember orange hexagonal dominoes, maybe called hexominoes 1970s

Hello all, 1st post.

Fantastic forum, which I have been browsing for a short while now.

Anyone remember orange hexagonal dominoes?

They might have been called hexominoes.
I remember getting these as a treat on a trip out with mum.
They were played a bit like Triominoes, but were hexagonal. The pieces were orange and about 2.5 inches across. Can't remember if they had numbers or dots. The pieces came in a tube - cant remember if the tube itself was hexagonal or round.
They were bought in Lewis's in Argyle Street in Glasgow in the early 1970s - don't know if that shop still exists.

I would love to own a set of these again, but just for now to see a picture of them would be good.

Have hunted high and low online for years now and no luck.

Any leads welcome

Only thing I can think of is Tri-ominos

Here is a really bad mock up of what the pieces looked like from memory

Saw the link and thought "yes!!" Sadly when I clicked through it was not the one I had. Mine looked very modern and "space age" I suppose. Shiny orange plastic pieces.
