Thank you for the welcome! And for the help.
I saw the Sq-D, but I don't know if they are XO, QO or another style. Possible to tell from what's showing?

Add to that it is the QO plug on series breakers that you would need for additions/replacements to that panel.

QO would be my guess but I am unfamiliar with XO

should work. I don't know anything about XO either, but if it were that I doubt you will find a GFCI that fits anyway.

It is a very old QO panel. Note how the breakers do not have the VISI-Trip window. I would date it from the early '60s.
It is a split bus panel, so there are several main breakers. The cabinet may not be wide, so the GFI might be a tight fit.
XO breakers do not look like 'modern' breakers. They look like they were designed back in the '40s.
I want to say their cabinets were brownish, but it is hard to remember.

X0 single pole breakers were narrower than modern breakers, the tell-tale sign was that the handle was the same width as the entire breaker, even for 2 pole breakers, vs the Q0 where the handle is narrower than the breaker and the same size whether it's 1 or 2 poles.
Older pre-X0 breakers (pre-war) were brown bodies with black handles, totally different looking format called a "Multi-Breaker, MO4.
Your panel is definitely Q0
