Febi Suspension fluid number

I'm ready to get my wagon up and moving (it's been running before), but I'm in need of some SLS fluid.

I've read all over this site that Febi 02615 is the right thing. However I've run across Febi 06162 at my local Napa. I haven't actually seen the bottle, but the guy over the phone (who wasn't the brightest bulb) said it had a BMW spec# 81229407549 on it. He wasn't in the mood to look up anything else for me concerning the fluid.

I'm gonna look for another source, but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this fluid and is it compatible?

I see Febi 06162 hydraulic fluid described as power steering fluid for BMWs.

I will take a picture of a bottle of febi sls fluid when I get home if no one else chimes in.
Here it is.
This is the febi sls fluid.
Don't use the other fluid the guy at the NAPA said to use. It is a PS fluid.
