The Cm7 has the notes C-Eb-G-Bb, and the Eb6 has the notes D-F#-A-B. These are the same notes, and the Eb6 is the Cm7 (realtive minor) in first inversion and Cm7 is the Eb6 (relative major) in third inversion. Usually I am note able to tell the difference, and as the Cm and Eb often can substitute each other, it might a matter of preferences when it comes to notation. But I have included voicings sith omitted 5th for the m7 chords. If we invert these notes, we will end up with the 1-5-6 in the 6th chord, and it does not really get the character of a major chord. So these m7-voicings does not really work as relative major 6 chords. And if we try to do the same with the Eb6, we end up with a plain Cm chord.

These two are in root position, and you can easliy see the relation with the barré positions.				The next two are both in first inversion.

Here I have not grouped them according to inversion. But you see that they are all derived from the same basic shape.

These are hard to play, particulary the second one, where you have to make a barré with your first finger, and then another small barré with your 2nd finger on 6th and 5th fret.
