Both the OM61x and OM60x have the oil filter in about the same relative location, left rear of the block.

The coolers are different.
OM61x cooler is next to the radiator, tall and skinny.
OM60x cooler is behind the left bumper in front of the left tire. It is almost square.

The lines both start as hard lines at the filter housing. They transition to flex lines along their length at different points. The 61x is almost all hard line with a little flex line. The 60x is about 60/40 hard/flex.

You'll still have the same situation. You'll need to have adapters in the oil cooler ports. And you'll need to cut off the hard lines just past the crimps for the flexes and braze on adapters.
