I'd say no, since the X60 and X60s take different CPUs (which are soldered to the mobo), but I cannot be 100% sure.
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

An X60s motherboard will fit into an X60, but not vice versa. The X60 motherboard has a larger fan than the X60s, and that larger fan will not fit in the fan cavity of the X60s case. However, you can buy a bottom case for an X60 for very little, and solve the problem that way.

-- X60 processors are not low voltage, so they consume battery power faster.
-- The slimline X60s battery will not fit the X60 case; the other batteries will fit both cases.

The new motherboard you get (x60 or X60s) may or may not have two mini-PCIe slots, i.e., if you need internal WWAN, then make certain that the second mini-PCIe slot exists on the new motherboard.
