Hi Richard,
Fixpacks were the same for the OS/2 Convenience Packages and WSeB, IBM did not want to keep seperate trees at that stage.
xr_c005 & xr_c006 both exist, though not for public posting as they were Software Choice Subscriptions only. These days you would look at ArcaOS which includes the fixes.
FP5 (xr_c005) for WSeB was the last official one, FP6 (xr_c006) does exist but my notes on it are:

This is not officially released, didnt even make it to the ALPHA stage and there have been reports that it is very unstable. Best to stick with FP5 with updated pmmerge.dll file.

The Object Rexx updated shipped in Fixpack 3 appears to cause problems with several Rexx-based applications. This update will backout that update to the previous level of Object Rexx.
Other users have reported problems with the PMMERGE.DLL module shipped in Fixpack 5. This update will backout that update to the Fixpack 4 level of PMMERGE.DLL.
fp5_up target_drive update_option
target_drive is letter (with semi-colon) of the drive to be updated
update_option is the update to be applied, rexx (OREXX.DLL) or merge
(pmmerge.dll).
