What technique would this sentence use?

“These, of course, may not have been the precise words I used that afternoon at the Tamagawa temple”

 

[Wizjaro]

I would say low modality, but yea I can't think of any other techniques atm.

I feel like there might also be some ambiguity in this quote. Perhaps mentioning that "these may have not been the precise words used" allows the thought of what the exact words used were to be left to the reader's imagination.
