Those are the ones, yep.  

Given this, I'm sure if Michael and Ali went to Motorola and said
"build us a 200 MHz 060 with FPU _and_ 030 instructions that were
removed since the 040 and we'll buy 1000 units now and 1000 more
in 6 months, after the first batch of Milan 3 is sold," Motorola
could not refuse.

Heck, even the Amiga folks might be interrested in such a CPU....

Btw, one interresting avenue to explore would be a dual-CPU Atari
using, let's say, twin 060's at 80 MHz.
