Bonjour.
The old fluid was probably ATF, which is what many manuals use nowadays to provide easier shifting, especially when cold. There are a variety of different oils available, however, but at a minimum you should verify that it is an approved oil for the transmission. Then if the shifting is OK for you I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise, I would go back to the Dexron III ATF, which should also be on the approved list for manual transmissions.
