Apparently, IBM's 8-bit VGA for older machines used the 72X8287, so my guess is that this is the original (manufactured by IBM Microelectronics), and the 15F6864 is essentially the same thing, but manufactured on a cheaper process (note the all-plastic package and Epson "mountain" logo).

These are all basic VGAs that support 256k of RAM, 25.175 and 28.322 clocks, and 640x480 max.
