Please post pics. I was under the impression that all 606 engines used a different direct-drive vacuum pump and IP timer. But, maybe these were only used on later iterations of the engine. Bummer man

The timing device looks exactly like GSXR's photos, presumably the drive operating mechanism/method is the same, although the timing device part numbers are probably different for a 606. The vacuum pump appears to be identical to those in this thread.

The vac pump change didn't occur until 1996/1997 based on engine number, this was on the 606.912 engine for the 210.120 chassis (96-97 E300).

The 1995 E300 (124.131 chassis) with 606.910 engine still used the old style pump - unfortunatley.
