Please help identify these memory chips (DDR2?3)

Yansi:
Hello,

out of curiosity I've done a small teardown of a bit of professional video gizmo, to get an idea how stuff got done in there.

The main brain is a Cyclone III FPGA,  using three memory chips. I'd like to know what type they likely are (to estimate the bus throughput they may have). Please find below a photo of the main PCB.

I guess these may be either DDR2 or DDR3. But I've failed miserably trying to google the cryptic alphanumeric codes on the chips. Manufacturer is likely a Micron.

Thanks for any hints

//EDIT: Cyclone III seems to support only DDR2, so DDR3 they are not. Still I'd like to know what the bus width and capacity of these may be.

The legendary Micron D9 series ... DDR2.
Yansi:
Why legendary?

In PC overclocking's scene back in the days of DDR2 RAM.
BravoV:
Its like current Ryzen's DDR4 RAM so called Samsung's B-die ... but you wont get it if you're not into PC overclocking, especially overclocking the RAM.

That D9 was well known to be a beast capable of crazy speed and can bear RAM overvolting, it used to be popular among extreme overclockers.
