Musketeer Capablanca Chess

I am not sure that this variant is necessarily one that will play well, but it seems to be a very obvious idea.
The original complement of new pieces for Musketeer Chess included the Chancellor and Archbishop, for playing Capablanca Chess, along with eight other new pieces.
So, if one has a 10 by 8 board for playing Capablanca Chess... why not play Musketeer Chess on it? With exactly the same rules, except that the Chancellor and Archbishop could not be chosen as additional pieces, because they're already on the board.
The obvious name for it would be Musketeer Capablanca Chess.
