Your information is outdated. That's for the original 30 day COVID extensions.

We are now on 60 day extensions which are issued under criteria 5.

I suggest you read the memo. The 60 day Covid extensions are handled the same way as the 30 days extensions as in 2.4 of order 327/2557, the only difference you complete an affidavit for the 60 day Covid extension.

Is this done only for a tourist visa or will they extend an O permission to stay  on 60 day covid ? 

You mean a 60 day Covid extension at the end of 90 days granted by an Non O entry - yes.
They would rather short term visitors stay and spend money as the tourist trade has collapsed.

The covid extension can be done for any visa but bear in mind that it is officially available till September only (though I think it will be extended further, just my opinion).

Currently until Sept 27th, but I can foresee them extending this again until November.

If that Non O was a single entry, it was 'USED' the minute you entered Thailand.

You've been extending your stay temporarily each and every year ever since, which is a permit, not a Visa.
Pointless applying for a 60 day Covid extension unless you intended to leave Thailand shortly after your current extension expires.

 For the sake of this, er discourse  over definitions  let us simply  presume I need an extra 59 days -  my question  remains can I apply  for the 60 day  Covid  extension while residing  on an non immigrant O permit/  permission to reside ?

Maybe I'm not being clear or putting too many variables in the question- anyone please  still seeking an answer    

  Can I ask for a covid  extension while on  an  O ?

There is no discourse of definition.
You entered Thailand on a Non O Visa, or entered VE then applied for a Non O status at Immigration. Either way you were granted a stay of 90 days, then and every year since completed a TM7, an 'Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom'.

Check out Visa or Extension of stay. - > Visas, Long Stay, Extensions, Re-entry Permit - Thaiger Talk (thethaiger.com) for further advice on the subject.

Yes you can apply for a 60 day Covid extension towards the end of your 1 year extension of stay. The cost is 1,900 BHT, the same as for a 1 year extension.
You complete a TM7 and affidavit to apply. No financial requirements.
Both forms can be downloaded here Immigration application forms for download. - > Visas, Long Stay, Extensions, Re-entry Permit - Thaiger Talk (thethaiger.com)
