It's fine to assume that as long as you don't write it down. A better way of putting it is to assume that the salt bridge electrolyte does not react with the half cell electrolytes.Don't think you can assume something like that in a question like this, past HSC calculation questions for these cells usually provides labelled diagrams of the cells in use. The salt bridge could contain any inert salt like NaCl/KCl or some other salt depending on the contents of the half cells, even though a NO3- based one would probably be best suited for this scenario.
Someone should attempt the question though.
