Default Hydraulic/Power Steering Fluid Question

I'm low on power steering fluid and its below minimal. Went to the stealer and brought some power steering fluid part no. G 002 012, but it has no indication that its the same mineral hydraulic fluid G 002 000. Can I mix the two together or they're totally different? When I was checking my fluid level the stock fluid inside looks kind of dark to the eye and yellowish on a white towel, but the one I just brought looks greenish in the bottle. I searched the forums and many said to use Pentosin CHP11S hydraulic fluid should be a green tin can. The one I have is a small Audi brand bottle and any clarification would be helpful. Many thanks!

Edit: Forgot to put 98.5 A4 2.8 Q

Just a smaller bottle of the 11S Pentosin fluid. I had to get the same bottle for our Boxster when we drove out to Vancouver Island (little or no Porsche Dealers). After getting a bearing -like noise from the back of the car, it turned out that it was low on fluid. If your ever in Naniamo, Harbourview VW/Audi has a parts manager Ron, cross referenced all the #'s for me to make sure its the proper 11s fluid.
