Of course most know of the EOR checks to arm/disarm weapons on the fighters but how was this done on the Six? (And/or Duece?)

In the days of "ADTAC", late 70's (once POMO started) I am going to say. The F-106 and T-33 EOR crew was made up of a crew dog and usually a couple specialists at first, in Minot anyhow. We would mainly check for loose panels, tire cuts, all pins were pulled, and so forth. It amounted to a final once over to make sure everything was secure.

The ERC or as the old timers called it "Last Chance" was Just that, to check for fuel leaks, hydralic leaks, Loose panels, anything that wasn't right.
But I remember a set of rope connected chokes dangling out of the main gear doors in flight, also once or twice a bird flew with an intake screen inplace. ;D
