I noticed some brackets along the sides of two breakers in an Eaton BR panel board.
One is along one side of a 20A Type BR Combination AFCI breaker (labeled for the dishwasher and disposal), and the other along one side of a double 40A breaker (for the Range).
They look somewhat similar to a BR...

Had an email from checkatrade saying that during April and probably future months you can either pay a reduced 50% monthly fee or become associated member which means you won't appear in general search results but...
