Default Antifreeze type. Which one?

Which antifreeze should I use?
My manual says on WSS M97B44-D, coloured Orange.
I cannot find that at the parts stores.
The chart from PEAK says that Jaguar from 1997 and up, uses Pink fluid.
The only orange fluid that I can find is Dexcool, or it's labeled for American cars.
I realize that my manual was written a while ago. Fluids get better.
What is right for this time in space for my car?

Dexcool is fine, so is Zerex GO5. However, do not mix antifreeze. If you don’t know what is currently in there, drain, flush, and fill with new antifreeze.

All Jaguars from about 1999MY/2000MY onward imported to the US used the ORANGE coolant referenced in the manual.(Extended Life) See TSBs
(My manual says on WSS M97B44-D, coloured Orange.)

The earlier Jaguars used different coolant but don't mix if someone changed it in the past as giandanielxk8 stated.

You can put ANY antifreeze/coolant you want but just DON'T MIX if incompatible.(flush and refill)

Jaguar used YELLOW coolant from 1997 up. (Jaguar D542 superseded blue/green D985)
Jaguar never had a PINK coolant!!!!

If in doubt, flush it out.
