Hmmm ... I thought I counted 2x(9+7) pins. Perhaps there were some parts made
with 28 pins, but that would make it difficult to sort out the selects with
the 40 pins on the module. The 32-pin parts that I have have got two high
selects, a low select, a low enable, and a low write strobe. That would allow
for selecting four banks, wouldn't it? With only 32 pins used for address and
data, that would allow for 8 banks of 64Kx16. Of course, with only 28 pins,
you'd have a select, a write, 8 data, and 16 addresses ... hmmm that would
work too since each pair could be selected separately.

Possible, just... You have 28 pins, right (2*(5+9))
64K*8 would need :
16 address lines
8 data lines
Vcc
Ground
Write Enable
Chip Select
That's 28 connections. I would have expected a separate Output Enable (==
Read Enable, basically), but it would be possible to manage without it.
So they could be 64K*8 SRAMs.
