I guess I’d call it a Dmajor9. It’s got the 1,3,7,1(8 if you prefer) and 9.
Have a good look at Paul Kossof's chord work he was always there which you have to be in the lineup that Free had but some of his shapes.were very interesting.
A wondeful and massively underrated player and gone way too soon
Bass is silent and the strings are holding a C pedal tone. I think I may have the sound, too; I used an electric 12 on the neck pickup, coil split and hit the 4 high courses quite hard and quickly while muting the low courses. Sounds pretty damn close!
What I find interesting is that the chord will change names when you change the spelling or take the inversions up the fretboard.. and the scale will change which allows a different note selection when soloing.
So, that F6sus4 with a F in the root note position changes when you make the G the root note and becomes G7... and when you make the D the root, you get (almost) Dm11...
.. great fun!

Can we call it a C9sus4? And if so, what situation would we use such a chord?
YOu'd use the notes associated with the extensions for soloing, well, I would - not too sure I'd use the full chord; pethaps a partial would be enough to suggest it?
Even with my rusty and shonky chord theory, I'm really enjoying this!!

At first glance I’m guessing a Ab9(or G#9). But why repeat the b7 on the 1st string? A melodic reason? What’s happening in the chord progression?
Edit: ok, I didn’t notice the open B string.

I make it Gm9...
G#, A#, F#, B....?? It chimes nicely with that open B!
