they are more commonly known as ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

the typical formula is equal quantities of each of approx 8% ferricyanide solution and 20% citrate solution, mixed together just before use.

but there are many variations, mostly rather minor.

a bit of Googling will find much more information for you
