Howard-
They're Shimano BL/BR-M675, but I'd rather just have the stuff around anyway because I'll inevitably cock up if I don't. Don't have great confidence in my ability with hydraulics to begin with.
On that note, I have a set of Magura Louise + bleeding kit + mineral oil (if I can't reuse it) + some organic pads anyone can have for postage costs, should be around €15. They lose braking power over time, I bought them as NOS so probably due to my cackhandedness.
Right, reading this I think I'll just order a bottle of the Shimano oil to avoid issues.

I need to shorten the hose of my new Shimano brakes and I will presumably need to do a bleed afterwards. I still have a bottle of Magura Royal Blood which is also mineral oil, if I'm not mistaken, so should in theory work? Is it just a different colourant or should I get a bottle of the Shimano stuff too?
