Bisonocerida
The inner surface of the siphuncle contains endosiphuncular deposits, which help distinguish the two orders. In cross-section, they are composed of several bulbous calcareous crests extending into the siphuncle. wikipedia.org

Solenochilus
In both the siphuncle is mostly composed of thin connecting rings. The siphuncle in Solenochilus is wider and has a more sinuous profile than that of Acanthonautilus. wikipedia.org

Discosorida
with segments that extend into the adjacent chambers, and parietal deposits within the siphuncle that overlap to form endocones. Families differ primarily in the structural details of the siphuncle and in the nature of the aperture. wikipedia.org

How do we know that ammonites are a kind of cephalopod rather than another type of mollusc? On a recent fossil hunting trip, I found a small fossil that an expert identified for me as an ammonite beak. He told me such...
It really is mostly the siphuncle as @augurar mentioned. The siphuncle is present in modern ammonites, cuttlefish, and Spirula(a deep-sea squid with an internal chambered shell).

Simardoceras
The siphuncle is ventral. Segments are subquadrate in outline and are longer than broad. Connecting rings are thick. Although Simardoceras somewhat resembles Winnipegoceras is the form of its siphuncle, it differs in its very broad cross section. wikipedia.org

Tarphyceras
Tarphyceras is a genus of tarphyceratid with whorls rounded in cross section, having a deeply impressed dorsum and a ventral to subcentral siphuncle, , and from Trocholites in that although Trocholites is subcircular in cross section, the siphuncle is subdorsal. wikipedia.org

Bajkaloceras
Description Bajkaloceras is characterized by an orthonic shell with an elliptical cross section and short camerae and a large, central to subctral siphuncle Flower (1976) separated these into two groups, calling attention to differences in siphuncle morphology and location. wikipedia.org

Williamsoceras
Description Of the five described species the siphuncle wall and phragmocone are known only from the genotype Williamsoceras adnatum. in cross section closer to the apex of the siphuncle where it becomes draped by endocones. wikipedia.org

Murrayoceras
As originally perceived Murrayoceras included species differing in siphuncle profile. Those in which the siphuncle segments are externally convex were redefined as Cartersoceras., leaving Murrayoceras with those having essentially straight wikipedia.org

Yinoceras
The retrochoanitic siphuncle is more usual for earlier, Devonian, ammonoids and is a characteristic of the Nautiloidea. The dorsal siphuncle, characteristic of the Upper Devonian Clymeniida may say something about the orientation of Yinoceras during life. wikipedia.org

Turnoceras
Conostichoceras is similar externally, but has a siphuncle with a trapezoidal aspect to its siphuncle segments. Perimecoceras has similar concave siphuncle segments but is tubular in form. wikipedia.org
