What updates are needed to upgrade WebSphere Windows 32-bit 6.0 to 6.1. I have 6.0 installation media, I'm trying to get a test environment to match a system at 6.1.0.31 patch level.

I've found UpdateInstallers and fix packs on IBM FTP here, which includes one for 6.1.0.31:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/fixpacks ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/software/websphere/appserv/support/tools/UpdateInstaller
However all the updates say they are not applicable. I think I need to apply this update 6.1.0-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP000003.pak Extracting the PAK as a ZIP and reading maintenance.xml can see it needs version 6.1.0.0 as a minimum.
I couldn't see this scenario covered in PDF WebSphere Application Server v6 Migration Guide https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246369.pdf
Is the only way to upgrade to 6.1 with complete installation media?
