It has been argued over and over and I don't know the answer, but I think the compelling argument has always been if 600W was a trade-name and not a viscosity, why wouldn't the Ford engineers have specified the necessary viscosity since '600W' was not Ford's own tradename?
Here's the relevant bit from the service bulletins.
