breakers in challenger panel

[mlnk]

So the only replacement breakers for Challenger panels are Cutler Hammer CH type?

I think a classified breaker is listed for most panels

CH type are 3/4" wide with sandalwood colored handles, Eaton does have classified breakers for Challenger though.

Cutler-Hammer BR, made by Eaton. Available at Home Depot for $4.38 each (single pole).

There are two different designs of Challenger panels. The later design can use Eaton BR breakers. The earlier design has a different arrangement of the stabs and cannot use BR breakers. They look identical with the deadfront on. You have to pull some breakers to verify which design you have.
