Question Wurth green VS Loctite orange

I picked my transmission up today, from performance imports, in Atlanta. While I was there, I mentioned to one of the owners that I can't seem to find Loctite case sealant. So he handed me a bottle of Wurth flange sealant (green in color) and told me that they use orange Loctite on Transmissions and Wurth on engine cases.

It was free, and I couldn't turn my nose up at a gift like that, but has anyone ever heard of using this instead of loctite?

Wurth makes an orange flange sealant that seems to be Loctite 574 (orange) in a Wurth bottle. When I asked around I found it was used in place of 574. (See Orange sealant: Wurth=Loctite? )
I wonder if this green Wurth flange sealant is Curil T in a Wurth bottle?
Are you sure he didn't say they use Orange on engine cases and Green on transmissions?

Thanks for responding Chris...

No, he said use the orange on the tranny and the green on the engine. In fact, I noticed how nicely the orange loctite (or perhaps it was wurth orange flange sealant) had beaded on the seams of the transmission.

I think I'll just keep waiting for some loctite...

I've just finished using the Wurth orange on my engine (also a freebee) it is apparently exactly the same stuff as the loctite. Sorry, but can't help with the green product though.
