Mute Help

Sorry for the mundane and routine equipment thread, but I thought someone on this forum might be able to help. I'm currently playing a piece for solo trumpet that calls for three mutes, a cup and two of which I'm unfamiliar with. The two I don't know are a "whispa mute" and a "carbon mute." I've found the Spivak "whispa mute" online and I was wondering if it is a just a standard practice mute that can be substited with another practice mute (if so, recommendations?). Does anyone know what one might use for a "carbon mute?"

Thanks,
Matthew
