Is it possible to tell by human inspection if a SIMM is 120ns or 150ns?

I have heard that the MAC II requires 120ns memory.
I have also heard that some 256k SIMMs are 120ns and some
are 150ns.   How do I tell
from looking at a SIMM if it is suitable for a MAC II?

In particular, I have some 256k SIMMs that came out of
a MAC SE when it was upgraded with 1 meg SIMMs.
The chips on the 256k SIMMs have the following numbers
on them:
     NEC Japan
     8707EK06
     41256-15

Does the "-15" mean that these are 150ns parts?
I had heard that all MAC SEs came were supposed
to come with 120ns parts?

		- Thanks for any advice.
