Here is what is in the O-Ring Kit

As you may know, Citroens have a similar thing to an SLS that they developed in 1955 and is still used, with mods. I would like to know what kind of fluid is used in these systems. The early Cits used an LHS fluid for which brake fluid was a substitute in the US. Laster cars used a mineral based oil that was 100% different and incompatible.
Why am I asking?
The seals for each type of Citroen SLS are different material: either EPDM for the older brake fluid ones,
or
Buta-N for the mineral based ones.
I would assume that the SLS O-rings are the later type, since SLS fluid is probably not compatible with brake fluid, right?
The reason I ask: I must have a million seals and O-rings of both types from 30 years working on Cits. So I'm interested in looking at the rebuild kits with an eye toward making them, last longer.
Has anyone used Viton O-rinds for the SLS??
