Air Tool Grease vs Regular grease?

In the process of rebuilding my Ingersoll Rand 232 impact gun.

I've got everything cleaned up and was getting ready to repack the front end of the gun (twin hammer / anvil part) with grease but was wondering if it matters what type of grease I use?

Is the IR grease just proprietary or does it have additives that make the only suitable product for it's application? I was thinking of just getting some automotive CV boot type equivalent and using that since the IR grease seems hard to come by / expensive.

The IR grease I have (105 IIRC) is a very heavy moly grease. Something similar would likely work
