1 - Any qualms using the castrol Dex/merc for steering fluid? I believe its dexron 3 (see pic attached)
2 - Can one mix a different brand of fluid to the one already in the reservoir to top up etc?
I wouldn't hesitate, Chris. That stuff should be fine.
To be honest, when it comes to P/steering I just grab what ATF is closest. A long time ago I found myself with a big over-supply of Type F so I used it in P/steering systems for years....even though Dexron was called for. If something bad was supposed to happen I never heard it, felt it, saw it, or smelled it

hi Doug
hope you are having a good weekend.
Great. Will use this as it's pretty cheap and I know the brand from the uk.
I use ATF. Why, because I have it. A few ancient cans. needed an ancient can stabber to open the can and the opener has a handy spout as well !!
In the past, I have used dedicated PS, when my Jeep blew out a hose.
Jaguars are European, mostly. The PS pump is pure GM!!!
Just my view, I see little benefit in A PS. Seals in the rack, just maybe.
Castrol Dexron III
