I don't have time to do the comparison right now, but at a glance the two chips to appear to be similar. Datasheets:

I always assumed it was the MPU's RAM where the volume level was saved, since all other RAM chips were volatile RAM since there was no battery to back them up.

I don't know either. I never had the need to do a deep dive on how the volume control feature actually worked.
