Its Dexron. Everybody puts a "t" in the name but whatever, Dexron III is fine for MB automatic transmissions unless you have a late model with a sealed system
The only thing I would comment on is Pwr Steering fluid should not be ATF and not mixed with any synthetics. Redline advises against using any of their synthetics in MB's power steering systems. You can flush the system with any of the non synthetic fluids, I've done it several times but I wind up replacing that with MB fluid as the final fluid.
Speaking of synthetics, whenever you buy a car, if possible learn what the PO used as brake fluid, as silicone brake fluid is not compatible with regular brake fluids, it can make a mess out of your seals if you mix the two.
