The only thing in common that various types of trans fluid has is its base (petrolium) and its red color. Have a look at the “Automatic Transmissions” section of this link. It gives a history of Dexron and ATF in general.

IMHO if you dont know exactly what is in it, flush the system completely and add the mfg advised fluid. Especially during component replacement.
