The equivalent Minolta MC unit is different and a lot better - doesn't need a cable release and has a great focussing mount. The rest seem pretty identical.

What you would like to do is clear. I believe all the bellows from Japan for 35mm cameras are made by the same manufacturer. If so, there is no need to mount uprights from one to another, as the camera mount on the rear simply comes off when the screw that holds it is loosened. So the camera mount from a C or N unit could be attached to an Oly unit and you have what you want.

The next question is whether this is cost effective, considering that you need to buy another bellows. The other solution if you are going Can*n is to get the OM to EOS adapter and mount it on the OM mount on the back of the bellows. The advantage of that would be the ability to use other OM lenses without the bellows.
