The D70 worked quite well on IR without any conversion, I have some pics somewhere shot on one. You did need the 87 IR filter? I think it was though.I have an IR converted D70 that I'm not using. If you're interested let me know and I'll bung it in the classifieds, with a lens since you're a Canon/Oly owner..

A question ,Do you see the image on the back screen as your photo will turn out when using converted mirror less cameras ?

Not just 720nm ones but also many other ranges, some likewise transmitting IR only & others giving 'high colour' IR. E-bay probably lists a few hundredAFAIK there's a 720nm filter on the sensor for IR only.
The question did mention mirrorless cameras, which have an EVF (effectively full time liveview in the viewfinder).Only afterwards with non-live view cameras. It's enough.

That's one of the huge benefits of mirrorless models when used for IR. It's easy to see through a 950nm filter mounted on my converted camera.
My GF2 was supposedly a Full spectrum conversion, but I've never had any success recording UV with it. The IR sensitivity completely floods any UV even with appropriate stacked filters & a lens renowned for being good for UV. On his web page Infraready mentioned MFT has poor UV response due to it's thick sensor stack, which has had me seriously considering getting a converted sony...Snap, I used to love the 950nm on my old Panny G1.
I've now got a Panasonic G3 converted to full spectrum (useful for IR and UV photography with the necessary filters).
I'd go for a full spectrum conversion if I were you, then get a handful of Zomei IR filters in different wavelengths from eBay.
here's a very useful lens hotspot list for IR:

Yes that's why I mentioned stacked filters. The U330 blocks visual, but passes NIR, the other was a BG39 specifically to kill the NIR.You need an IR blocking filter for UV work or so I've read.
