Looks like it to me except the fluid maybe a rockshox specific fluid, but probably not.

Don't use the same kit for both jobs even if the fittings are the same, the fluids are incompatible, and any traces of the wrong fluid in either system will cause damage(expensive kind)to the seals.

I've successfully used the kit that comes with a Reverb to bleed my Juicy brakes. So yeah, they're compatible (I.e. the fittings are the same). The tubing on the Reverb bleed kit isn't as pliable as a genuine Avid bleed kit - so you can't clamp the hose like you're supposed to when bleeding brakes.

I've cleaned the syringes out with soapy water and let them dry, I really don't think contamination will be an issue.
