Chords with identical fingering

As I was mapping out chords, I think I correctly noticed that a m7 chord with the root on the fourth string is identical to a 6th chord with the root on the high E string. Is this correct? If yes, I’m wondering what other chords demonstrate a similar relationship and is there some music theory to explain this.

CM6 = C, E, G, A
Am7 = A, C, E, G

C Major scale: C, D, E, F, G, A, B
A minor scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, G

As you can see both scales have the same notes. A minor scale (the minor scale based on the 6th degree of C major scale) is known as the relative minor scale of C major scale. I hope it helps.
