Yes the cases for the 4000/60 and 4000/90 were identical. This allowed DEC 
to sell an upgrade which consisted of a new motherboard. Another check is 
that the 4000/60 has memory on the motherboard so with no SIMMs install it 
still has 4MB. (with the top off you can see these as vertical simm chips 
on the main board.

DEC didn't "mislabel it" someone perhaps needed a case with better 
cosmetics or a place to put an M60 motherboard.

I've also seen a couple of folks on Ebay do this in order to get a better 
price for a 4000/60 motherboard. I asked one guy to send me a picture of 
the motherboard (he had everything else) and he refused which lead me to 
believe he knew what he was doing :-(.

People with poor manners aside, the 4000/60 is a lovely VAX and decently 
fast for running NetBSD and Linux, and you can even get framebuffer support 
for it now so you can run X.
