It should be dot 5. This would be Silicon based.

Take a tablespoon of the fluid.

Add a drop of water.

If the water floats then it should be silicon.

If it's absorbed by the fluid then it's not.

This is theoretical and based on the fact that dot5 is not hygroscopic and the other brake fluids are. YMMV.
