I just had a thought...
Maybe instead of NSSM, Naval Crotale? That seems pretty self contained, and shouldn't break the bank, so to speak. Question is, is the original version of the missile effective enough to justify the weight?
Might be worth the change if it turns out cheaper and lighter than the NSSM. This would correct the very slight range gap between SM1 and ESSM by replacing the altter with a shorter-ranged self-defense SAM. If you stick to a 70s tech level, your Standard-MR will be either RIM-66B/E with 47km range. The early RIM-7H for NSSM has a given range of around 20km, which gives a lot of overlap.
Again, if the NSSM and Crotale are equivalent in cost and weight, go for the higher capability, since your ship is on the gold-plated side by design.
If you go for Crotale, don't forget you'll need one Castor-II designator, which appears to double as a gun director.
