Quick ONT turnaround
Are flights 6348/6349 on the same plane? If I do a mileage run, could I get boarding passes in advance for the return and just get on/off?

I believe EasyCheckIn allows you to check in for the entire day's flights if you have same day return.

It likely is the same plane, since the plane is an EMB-120, and only LAX-ONT has EMB-120s, it possibly couldn't be going anywhere else...

Actually, the ONT-LAX flights rarely due a direct turn back to ONT. And that's not the only route where an EMB120 is used. LAX-CLD, for example, also uses the 120. When I lived near ONT, I used to fly the LAX-ONT trip quite frequently, and the pilots almost always headed onward to either CLD or PSP.
