 From that picture, I'm pretty sure it is a single 16x40 RAM.

It seems to the right of it is the X and Y decoders; and to the right
of that are various registers to do with X and Y (Y on top, X at bottom
-- 9 resp. 10 bits).

I guess the top is the pixel sequencing and analog.  Hard to tell, we
can only see the metal, and that not very good at that :-)
