Alternative to TAN Toyota Inner CV Joint Grease?

After my most recent alignment (have had to do many to try and dial in my SPC UCA's), my inner CV boots both tore right past the clamp and have been diarrhea-ing the OEM grease everywhere :toilet:
After a bunch of research, I have decided to order OEM parts and rebuild my OEM axles, my access to a garage is limited so it will be a while before I can tackle this repair and due to irregular garage access I don't want to deal with the potential frequent swapping of after market axles.
In the mean time I want to repack the inner boots and mock up some type of hack job tape/bicycle innertube/glue/wetsuit seal to try and keep most of the new grease inside. Luckily most of the original boots are intact and the tears are on the small ends of the boots.

I am having trouble identifying a substitute for the OEM TAN "90999-94037" grease that goes in the inner CV joint (the original grease is only available with the full rebuild kit). The only grease I have found at Oreilly's is a molybdenum disulphide (dark in color) it looks like the outer CV joint grease that Toyota supplies link:Sta-Lube 3174 - Constant Velocity (CV) Joint Grease | O'Reilly Auto Parts
Does anyone have recommendations of which grease to use in the inner joint?
Can I just use the above mentioned one from Oreilly's? Is mixing them okay?
Thank you

The OEM Nazis will disagree, but any high moly grease from the parts store rated for a CV application will be fine even though Toyota technically uses a different grease on the inner and outer joints. As long as there is proper grease in there and the boots are sealing properly, CV joints should last almost forever. The important thing is to make sure you use enough grease. Toyota spec is 176 - 186g for the outer joint and 255 - 265g for the inner. Almost all CV boot kits NEVER come with enough grease. Those packets are only about 80-100g each.
