Are you sure the number is 60, and not 160? Looking throught Dalby's
table of the state of affairs in 1849, if that system has essentially
persisted, it should have about 165 syllable symbols! My assessment,
using proposed Unicode names and showing pronunciation in XSAMPA where
there would be more than one pronunication for a symbol, is that the
system should consist of at least the following 148 symbols:

EE, I, A, OO, O /O, hO, w0/;
AN /a~, Na/, ON /O~, NO, HO~/, EN /E~, hE~/;
NGEN;
HEE, HI, HA, HOO, HE /hE, E/;
HIN /hi~, i~/;
WEE, WI, WA, WOO, WU /wu, u, hu/, WE;
PEE, PI, PA, POO, PU, PO, PE;
BHI, BHA, BHU, BHO;
BEE, BI, BA, BOO, BU, BO, BE;
MBA, MBOO;
KPI, KPA, KPOO, KPU, KPO, KPE, KPAN;
GBEE, GBI, GBA, GBOO, GBU, GBO, GBE;
FEE, FI, FA, FOO, FO, FE;
VA, VO;
TEE, TI, TA, TOO, TU, TO, TE;
DHEE, DHI, DHA, DHOO, DHU;
LEE, LI, LA, LOO, LU /lu, d_<u, nd_<u/, LO, LE /lE, d_<E/;
DEE, DA, DOO, DO;
NDEE, NDI, NDOO;
SEE /se, ze/, SI, SA, SOO, SU /su, zu/, SO, SE /sE, zE/;
ZI, ZA, ZOO /zo, jO(?)/, ZO;
CI;
JEE /J\e, ce/, JI /J\i, JJ\i, ji/, JA /J\a, ca/, JOO /J\o, co, JJ\o, jo/,
JU /J\u, cu, ju/, JO /J\O, c\O, JJ\O/;
NJEE /JJ\e, je/, NJA, NJU;
YA;
KEE, KI, KA, KOO, KU, KO, KE;
NGGEE, NGGI, NGGA, NGGO;
GEE, GA, GOO, GU /gu, Ngu/, GO, GE;
MI, MA, MU, MO, ME;
NI, NA, NU, NO, NE;
NYI, NYA, NYU, NYO, NYE;
NG.

I have also omitted 17 symbols that look as though they have recently
been distinguished by the double dot diacritic even when the
distinction goes back to 1849.

(Note that d_< is the implosive dental stop, J is the palatal nasal,
and J\ is the voiced palatal stop.)
