While we're on the subject, does anyone have a chart, or story, about the differences in brake fluids?

I have some real old unopened cans of Wagner "21" that says SAE Spec R72. This stuff smells a bit like alcohol, yet is slick like silicone. Anyone know it's DOT equivalent? Would it be safe to use after about 45 years in the can? It's clean and clear and the cans are rust free.
