Two kits of three DDR3 memory sticks mixed. Are they same?

Question

I have bought two memory kits, each having three DDR3 modules for triple-channel setup. Looking at the memory modules serial stickers, I couldn’t find a clue about how to identify, that the modules in the 1 kit have some serial marker that they go in kit

I ask because it could happen that they get mixed (or there were already multiple dual-channel modules installed). Is there a way to identify which modules are from the original kit, in order to be able to match them correctly again? Would posting their serial numbers help?

Because I bought two kits at once could all six actually be the same? That is, compatible even if they are mixed?

The serial/product numbers on the modules were either all the same, or completely different, so no hint to identify if the modules belong to only one box.

You can download CPU-Z and read out all your information, including the serial numbers of your RAMs. However, it probably shouldn't matter if you mix those.

You can identify RAM by checking for a K-number near the end of the serial.
