Type A breaker - AFCI available? What to do?

[jeelkema]

I’m wondering if anyone knows of an AFCI breaker for "Type A, B, or HAGF" per the label in my old Sylvania SB20 box, image below? I can’t find anything online. The inspector has flagged my updated circuits as requiring AFCI protection. Of course, I eventually need to update the whole panel, but it’s only 2 breakers, so I’d highly prefer to buy some time and just get the situation resolved. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

(BTW I have noted the post about the similar SB15 box. http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=188268&highlight=type+a )
