Here three unknown Sharp ICs are shown.
Two chips marked as
SHARP
50752B26B2
F0703T588
and one marked as
RX-IX0032YCPZQ
I've found almost nothing about these chips on the net.
What can it be?

Sharp proprietary SCOOP chips. In fact they are custom programmed ASIC (gate array) chips S1L50752B26B200. Both are probably exactly the same. They are used as a CF interface, remaining pins are used as a GPIO pins for many purposes (see scoop in kernel sources).

Just a plain custom programmed 8MiB PROM with bootloader, ROM diag and EN-JP dictionary database.

Thank you for explanation!

So, if I understand correctly, it contains initial bootloader that execute code from NAND and diagnostic menu code, doesn't it?

Yes. ROM diag code is also there. And probably more (debugging monitor?), but there is no documentation.

So, what does actually NAND contain?
String from SYSTC320.DBK contain text from diagnostic menu (which is accessible by pressing D+M)
And I don't understand where diagnostic menu code exists. Can it be duplicated in PROM and NAND?

Yes, it is duplicated or nearly duplicated. D+M is NAND diag, Fn+D+M is ROM diag. ROM diag works even with corrupted NAND.
