Quick spice advice needed

Can somebody please tell me - is Bombay Mixed Spice different to any old Mixed spice??

Just about to make something that requires Bombay mixed spice that I haven't got but do have mixed spice??
 
Just found this on the web....

The exact spice mixture used varies between producers, and is often considered a trade secret. When making your own Bombay mix, a good place to start spice-wise is:
  • Three parts chilli powder. More if you like hot food, less if you prefer, but don't leave it out altogether.
  • One part coriander (the seed, not the leaf).
  • One part cumin.
  • One part turmeric. Very important, Bombay mix would not be the same without the obnoxious yellow tint.
  • One part salt. Leave this out if you're especially health-conscious.
  • One part sugar. Again, this is optional.
