The Samsung MoviNAND and Sandisk iNAND are generic NAND Flash with a MMC/SD interface as they both follow the JEDEC standards. I've got a K3 Euro and its a Samsung. I've never seen or heard anybody else mention a Sandisk part in their Kindle but I guess Amazon just uses whatever they've got stock of on their production lines.
The RAM you were referring to in your first post is a different part in the iNAND range. You can get iNAND MCPs which have multiple individual chips all in a single package. This wouldn't be very useful in the Kindle because you only want those when you're extremely constrained for space like in a cell phone. The Kindle already has space for regular RAM chips which are cheaper.
