Hi,
I have a few pics from a panel, and have not seen it up close. Wondering if anyone would be able to tell me the catalog number of 2 pole and twin breakers for this panel (2 pole 20 amp, and 15/15 amp twin, or if they have skinny half space breakers, a number for one of those in 15 amps. Thanks,

Any GE 2p breaker should work. I'm surprised the label doesn't spec breaker types. Pic #2 shows that the bottom four spaces accept tandems.

To see whether you can use modern GE tandems, you have to see whether the bottom stabs have the little cross-arms on them. If not, check "claaified" breakers.

Added: I think you're on the verge of "it's time for a new panel." (No, not a sub-panel, a new one, and likely an upgrade.)

"THQP" is not enough? I'd suggest calling your local supply house and ask for the cat number for a THQP 2 pole 20.

Its a GE split buss panel
The top portion is for appliances and the bottom is for lighting/Receptacles
There is a double breaker feeding the bottom half.
If you are a DYI'r get better advice than this forum. There is not a 15 or 20 amp afci skinny. You are going to need to combine a circuit and you have to know about phases and neutrals.

I agree it is a split buss panel and the lower half, I believe will take the thin wafer breakers but the top will not.

The top 4 spaces on either side look like they are in the upper half. Looks like one free space full size and a few standard size breakers that can be changed to the wafer style.
