Have I struck lucky on this cover crop mix?

Stay with me on this!
So, I ordered my cover crop seed well in advance before we started combining so I could hopefully follow the combine. Unfortunately due to crap weather (as usual) we’ve only just got the straw of the field.
Anyway I usually just go with a cc2 mix (vetch and rye) however I’ve just dug the pallet of seed out and tipped the first bag in the drill and noticed it’s a cc3 mix (I’ve only been charged for a cc2?).

So my question is,
1- have I done ok getting this mix at no extra cost?
And
2- what rate should I drill it at?

I usually drill the cc2 at 46kg/ha

Thanks in advance?
