brake fluid question ATE TYP 200 different numbers on cans

Can someone tell me if ATE TYP 200 706232 and 706202 are the same and can be combined? I ordered 3 liters from 2 different vendors and got basically the same can and everything looks right except one bottle is marked part 706202 and the other 2 bottles are marked 706232, both look exactly the same. Is this just a newer part number or are they different fluids? Some of the lettering is different on the bottles (different language) maybe one is EU and one is US?
I'd appreciate any input. thanks.
both are DOT 4 and have the authenticity stickers on the bottom.

DOT 4 fluid must be miscible with other DOT 4 fluids.

I suspect the SKU difference is merely due to labeling requirements in different locales.

thanks for your info, that's what I guessed. Doesn't matter now as they are in the brake lines now. Thanks!
