Almost there!
Mantle controls should not be active with fixed total HPE masses as in the revised lunar model - see Section V Dye and Barna (2024)
Also note that the revised lunar model puts HPE abundances in the LVZ 10x those in the mantle -see Section V in Dye and Barna (2024)
An alternative lunar mantle control would be an earth primitive mantle (bulk silicate moon) selector. The revised model uses McDonough and Sun (1995) with earth primitive mantle Th=79.5 ppb (+/-15%), U=20.3 ppb (+/-20%), and K=240 ppm (+/-20%). With the lunar crust HPE contents determined by the revised crust model and the BSM contents fixed by the earth's primitive mantle model, the lunar mantle+LVZ HPE contents are constrained by mass balance (BSM - crust). The are several other models for earth's primitive mantle (i.e. Palme and O'Neil (2003), Lyubetskaya and Korenaga (2007)). In this scenario the lunar mantle control would be a pull-down menu of earth primitive mantle models with each specified by a half dozen or so parameters.
and... each earth primitive mantle model would have its associated crust fluxes, which could be simply scaled from the default fluxes to account for the different Th/U and K/U
