Francesco, Rumurutiites and Kakangariites are clearly chondritic. Let's take the LEW 87232 Kakangari-type Antarctic meteorite. The thin section does show chondrules and chondrule fragments. As for the R-chondrites, although the lower types have relatively few chondrules, they do have them. Ouzina (R4) is even said to have abundant barred olivine and porphyritic chondrules. I don't have any Ouzina, so I can't tell. My NWA 3098 slice from Stefan Ralew also shows several chondrules even though it is an R5.
