Coolant compatibility ?

Coolant compatibility ?
I used Prestone Heavy Duty with sca's which is green when I had my coolant system flushed. I'm in northern Ky for a couple of weeks and I've developed a small leak where the transmission lines go in to the bottom of the radiator.
In case I need to add coolant I tried to buy a gallon at four different stores and all I can find is Fleet Charge with sca's but it is pink even though it says that it contains ethelyene glycol. Is this coolant compatable with the green Prestone if I need to use it ?

So far I haven't had to use it and I'm heading back south to Mobile on Saturday. Hoping I can get by without finding out but I'll let you know if I have to mix the brands.
I did find this :

If I'm interpreting this chart correctly the Fleet charge is compatible with ( or maybe a replacement for) a bunch of heavy duty coolant brands but on the notes at the bottom the double asterick makes reference to drain and flush and I don't see any double astericks on the chart. More confusion,damn it, this shouldn't be so hard.
