I thought the field was only base64 encoded if it had offending characters such as a space, or something not LDIF compliant?

E.G. you could see an entry that says  {crypt}AFDA12321de323

Strangely they are not prefixed with the {HASHTYPE}.

When I run
ldappasswd -H ldapi:/// -D "cn=testuser,dc=iwu,dc=edu" -w Please -x -s
please

In LDAP I get

userPassword:: cGxlYXNl

What did I do?

You failed to understand the difference between hashes and encoding. userPassword is base-64 encoded. Decode it to see what the actual value is.
