But not these - PDP-11's didn't use dual-height connectors on memory.

Anyway, they are indeed PDP-15.  (Whether or not they are actually MM15
I don't know).  The page on the memory on the provided link indicates:

G100
G613
G614

The modules and options document on
bitsavers.org/dec/modules/modulesAndOptions sez....

G100  Sense Amp & Inhibity Driver, PDP15, 3 Wire, 3D Memory
Where Used: 15

G613  X Diode Matrix, 3 Wire, 4K, 9/I  Where Used: 15
G614 X Diode Matrix, 3 Wire, 4K, 9/I Where Used: 15
