RTFM. But I'll save you that major hassle of opening it:
Use an Use an SAE 90 viscosity hypoid gear
oil, API service classified GL5 or
GL6 only. .
ANY of them will work and there are a dozen looooooooooooooog threads on this. Take a peek at them too.

Thanks. Oh and I have been searching, lots of the posts I saw were American or fairly old so I thought it would be easier to ask, thanks for helping......

Multi page thread on differential oil in the past month and several in the past year. All the specs are the same. SAE is the international professional automobile engineering association.

You may find different brand names in the UK but brand names don't matter.
