Well, the thing is there is about 3 different kinds. I think the thread gives a pretty good idea of what to use on steel/steel steel/alum. and stainless steel. Google it, that will keep you reading all day. Best bet for me has always been nickel anti seize. Permatex is all I ever see for sale.

Use gray/silver = zinc, copper for hot/stainless
discovered the same thing you found. Harley service manual says to use Loctite anti seize. Never did find a spec number. Went to the loctite site. Numerious ones. It's for one thing however. To keep axle from rusting inside the two bearings and not coming out.
