Is All FIPG the same?

Is all FIPG the same? The reason why I ask is because I'm going to be dropping my transmission pan to replace the screen, filter and fluid, I already have a tube of FIPG that I got from Lexus when I did my Valve covers, is that the same stuff that is used for the tranny seal as well?

The FIPG for transmission is orange in color vs black for engine. I would get the correct one to prevent any leak or extra work when you have to do it again if it leak.
