Power Steering O-Ring Material?

I know the part number and dimensions for the o-ring below (32416762724, 8mm x 2mm):

But I'd like to know what material it's made of (or what a suitable replacement would be). Reason is, I just happen to have Viton o-rings of the same size and would rather use one of those than look for an OEM replacement.

Thoughts?
