No, the OM60x series engines are totally different from the OM61x. Besides the smaller displacement, the 60x engines are physically shorter than a 61x of the same cylinder count, the cylinder bores and bolt holes won't come close to lining up.

IF you swapped out the pistons, I'd bet you could put a 604/5/6 head on a 601/2/3. With the cost and labor though, it would be cheaper and easier to buy an entire used 604/5/6.
