In a '93 a 6.9 is most likely an earlier block that someone swapped for the 7.3. Pre-powerstroke 6.9's & 7.3's used the same block, and most of the external parts will interchange.

Check out www.thedieselstop.com. There's a couple guys on the pre-powerstroke boards that really know their stuff, or at least there used to be. Learned a lot when I first got my previous truck, a 1993 crew-cab dually, 7.3 with factory turbo.

I'd also tend to suspect cavitation putting a hole in one of the cylinders. Apparently these engines were know for doing that if the proper coolant additives weren't maintained.
