What are the brand of brakes?
Not sure, but have seen reference to people using Shimano Mineral.
@yakboy may be able to help having filled a few Pro-Stops, reference here to automatic transmission fluid which i think is mineral based -

Cracking on getting the bike finished for the York show ( well it will be front shifterless until I can get the new part made) Tonight's task setting up the prostop brakes. Even though I have NOS instructions I didn't read them ( being a bloke of a certain age😅) but stumbled on the reason there...

It is what it says on the tin
Any motor factors will stock it

ATF, check any auto parts store
its a high viscosity hydraulic fluid with detergents and corrosion inhibitors in it, for context
its also suitable for mineral oil based modern hydraulic disc brakes
its not too uncommon with older cable actuated hydraulic brakes like this, since the fluid is never really expected to be changed or bled or anything like that, and ATF lasts basically forever
