Ford Type H —developed for the C5 Ford automatic transmission introduced in , it has been superseded by Mercon. Ford Type CJ —originally designed for the Ford C6 automatic transmission, it also has been superseded by Mercon and also can be replaced with Mercon V, but should never be used in a transmission requiring Type F.
Mercon —introduced in and similar to Dexron II. Ford ceased licensing Mercon in and now recommends Mercon V for all transmissions that previously used Mercon. Should not be used in a transmission requiring Ford Type F.
The LV stands for "low viscosity. It is not compatible with earlier Mercon fluids, so it should neither be mixed with Mercon or Mercon V used to replace those fluids. It is not compatible with any other fluid, either.

It says Ford discontinued licensing Mercon in , meaning no one except maybe Ford is producing Mercon. I did a quick search of Amazon and found no Mercon. Last comment I would like to make: My Focus is , the year before Ford discontinued licensing Mercon. This means Ford knew Mercon was no longer going to be available, and Mercon V will be replacing Mercon, but it decided to put that emphatic statement that Mercon and Mercon V are different and that they are not interchangeable.
It actually says that using dual use Mercon and Mercon V in place of Mercon may cause damage. And I found this in my Crown Victoria manual: Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used.
These are found in the transmission section of the manual. Furthermore, both manuals state that i should use Mercon, not Mercon V, as power steering fluid. Thank you for that link.
