The one on the right says "Synthetic." One on the left only says "High Performance." I'm thinking they're the same, just different packaging for marketing purposes.  BTW, are new brake pads normally a little noisier until they get seated? The new fronts seem to be dragging a lot more, going by the noise. However, the wheel spins freely, so I don't think they're hanging or binding:

Yes you can mix those two fluids. You cannot mix DOT5 silicone with DOT4.

That's essentially what I did, but just wanted to make sure any residual old stuff wouldn't cause a problem. Thanks for everyone's response.

BTW - the noisy fronts quieted right down after a little test ride.   cooldude
