The HRO-50 coil packs (the upper pic) have their information stamped/filled on the front of each. The HRO60 coil packs (lower pic) have a name plate rivited on the front of each. Kind of a classy addition I think.
The main difference between the two models were mostly performance enhancements like better image rejection and narrower IF bandwidth, I presume to deal with ever more crowded AM bands, and possibly better SSB performance. There also were a couple of detail changes in the dial plates, but there wasn't much that showed up on the front panel.
The HRO-60 is in the top ten percent of high performance tube type receivers and I enjoyed mine for many years.
A bit of a detail about the "switch". The single/double conversion switch in the HRO60 is actually "activated" when "C" and lower frequency coil packs are used, forcing the receiver into "single conversion" mode. The switch IS NOT activated when "B" and higher frequency coil packs are used. This made the HRO-60 backward compatible with earlier models on the lower frequencies.
There were 13 coilpacks, aside from possibly some single customer specials, for the HRO-60 covering the frequency range from 50KC to 54 Megacycles. I think thats a broader frequency range than any other receiver of its time.
Removal of the cap Rodger mentioned is VERY important as its a power transformer KILLER.
