IIRC the rule of thumb is that if its got a serpentine belt it uses PS fluid,
if its a v belt its ATF.
I put ATF into the PS pump on my '85 190D (serpentine belt) and it leaked it
all out. Not sure if it was already leaking or the ATF ruined it...

Took a look today and the car already has Arnott struts installed, at least on
the driver's side. So they've been replaced before. I wonder if that would
cause any issue with the core exchange?

FCP Euro sells the rebuilt struts. Rock Auto has both.
The new ones are described as:

I don't think I've ever seen one in action, but they sound cool. I might
have to make one for the Woody's Pusher (N10RY) as a landing light - deer
