Is it possible to replace NLVB32 and NLVB10 MCBs with RCBOs, or is a whole new board required?

Board is labelled NLCU5PSW and is 20-25 years old.

It would be far far easier to replace the board than try and fit RCBO's, even if you can get hold of them. Its just the lack of space inside older boards that makes it a struggle, by the time you have stripped everything out to start again you are only left with a case held on with 4 screws so you might as well change that as well.

Plus the fact that you can sometimes get a whole new basic board from somewhere like Fusebox for the cost of a couple of RCBO's off different manufacturers makes it a no brainer.
 
Newlec was the own brand offering from Newy and Eyre (now absorbed into rexel) so they will be made by a manufacturer with newlec branding on them.

From the pic I'd hazard a guess that they are GE MCB's.
