So I have two bikes considering swapping forks on.

The wheels I believe can interchange, use the same brake caliper, so all that is fine.

Upper clamping area diameter is identical,
Lower clamping diameter is 0.6 mm different.

Is that close enough to make work as is? Or would some boring and shims be needed? About half a mm seems pretty darn close.

Before I pull them apart and start monkeying around figured I’d ask!

No, 0.600 mm is massive. For reference, we try to hold our clamp diameter to +/- .015 mm. You'll need a shim or similar to do it right.
