Looking at the datasheets:
Transmax Axle Long Life 75W-90 Axle Fluid - Multivehicle Description Castrol Transmax Axle Long Life 75W-90, formulated with Smooth Drive TechnologyTM, is a full synthetic rear axle fluid. It provides superior protection, especially when driving under stop-start or extreme conditions e.g. towing. This enables smoother axle operation and noise reduction, resulting in a more comfortable drive throughout the lifetime of the vehicle. Specially designed and approved by BMW for use in all BMW final drives fitted with conventional (non limited slip) differentials. It is Castrol's prime recommendation for final drives in heavy commercial vehicles, and is approved by MAN, Scania and ZF. Transmax Universal LL 75W-90 Universal Fluid for manual transmissions and axles Description Castrol Transmax Universal LL 75W-90 formulated with Smooth Drive Technology™ is a full synthetic multi purpose manual transmission and final drive lubricant. It may be used in synchronised manual transmissions and final drives / differentials of a wide range of vehicles (commercial vehicle, construction equipment) where API GL-4 or API GL-5 fluids are required and it carries a number of approvals I guess the former is just more expensive because it is approved by BMW 
Otherwise they are very similar oils and there will be no issue mixing them. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

I use Motul Gear 300 oil in diffs, transfer and gearbox a bit pricey but well worth the extra and simplifies only having 2 oils
