Trying to figure out which fluids were put in my car

I need some help figuring out which MT fluid and coolant my dealer service department put in my '01 9-3SE yesterday. It doesn't appear they used Saab fluids. This is a Canadian Saturn-Saab dealer.
I brought the car in for replacement of an axle seal (same one dealer had replaced <6 months ago) and a coolant flush, and also a change to MTF 0063 MT fluid to hopefully improve balky shifting into 1st and 3rd. The service manager had never heard of the new fluid and questioned whether my printout of the Taliaferro bulletin on this was 'real', but agreed to bring it in to the Tech. My car originally had Saab blue coolant. I didn't want a dexcool variant replacement.
On return of the car, I was told the tech had used the new MT fluid I had requested. But now that I look at the part#s it doesn't look like it...
Here's what I got:
MT Fluid: GM 21018899
Coolant: 993089 (yellowish-green in colour)
What are these fluids? Are these OK?
