A quick googling (if that is a word) shows that the oil mixup is pretty common for an NP205. A short research reveals that it will pretty much take ATF, 75-90 gear lube, or 10-30 motor oil. I don't think any of those will kill it because the NP205 is just a big dumb box full of gears and...
Most gear drive tcases I know of use gear lube but the TM specifies Dexron ATF for the NP205. I had to look it up when I drained my case to find red fluid. I honestly think it won't care because it has no synchronizers but be aware that the spec is ATF.
