No, but most off-the-shelf gear lubes are pretty similar. The LM stuff is virtually the same as the OEM Castrol fluid on paper, so if you can get it cheaply locally (NAPA), go for it.
If you are concerned about deviating from OEM, you can get Castrol Syntrans LS (which is the OEM fluid) from ECS for about $20/bottle. They even sell a differential service kit which includes all the bottles, gaskets, and drain bolts. Alternatively, go to a Mercedes dealer and order part 001989520310 -- they use the same fluid too.
