For now I am more than happy with how the coolant is working in my cooling system.

From internet it looks like they are an antifreeze recycler (redistilled ethylene glycol). Green is non-lifetime, yellow is lifetime according to website. The sheet for the lifetime (yellow) says it meets Mercedes fleet specs.?
Note that one of the "specs letter" below refers to the lifetime, where are the green stuff "specs"?

I'm gonna take a wild guess here but I would guess that green stuff is a long way from Porsche specs? In a short "coolant change interval" it should be fine I would guess but if it were my car I would sure feel more comfortable with g12 or another good, aluminum friendly, "lifetime" antifreeze (still changed out every 2-5 years max of course) in there.
In the first photo I wonder if the "brown matter" is actually orange dexcool, prestone, or other coolant mixed in there? Hard to tell from the photo but just a thought and I would guess it would separate like that.
