Obviously, you'll have better luck finding the Estes capsule, but the Centuri Mercury capsule, which is the original mold, would work ok too. The Estes kit is a re-issue of the original Centuri kit from 1971. The original Centuri version is typically molded in black plastic whereas the Estes issue was typically red or white plastic.
Either would work ok for you. Occasionally, a capsule only kit leftover will show up on ebay.
