Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this panel? What type of breakers it takes? Slim breakers possible?

Here is another close up if it helps. It has a 100 Amp main breaker but it may be listed as a 125 Amp panel. It’s in a condo in Hawaii. It lo

I am planning a remodel and wondering if the following circuits would work with this service or is it pie in the sky? Whoever would like to weigh in feel free. Also does my load calculation look right? Thanks for your input!

DESIRED ELECTRICAL CIRCUTS in 125 Amp Panel
Kitchen
1) 20 Amp #1 Kitchen outlet 110v 12/3 wire
2) 20 Amp #2 Kitchen outlet 110v 12/3 wire
3) 15 Amp Dish Washer/ Disposal 110v 14/3 wire
4) 15 Amp Clothes Washer 110v 14/3 wire
5) 40 Amp Oven/ Range combo 220v #6/2 AWG wire
Remaining Circuits
6) 30 Amp Clothes Dryer 220v 8/3 wire (Draws 24 amps)
7) 50 Amp Water Heater 220v 6/2 AWG (12 kw 50 Amp)
8) 20 Amp Air Conditioner 220v 12/3 wire (min 17.2 amps)
9) 15 Amp lights 110 110v 14/3 wire
10) 15 Amp fridge and Outlets 110 110v 14/3 wire
11) 20 Amp Bathroom 110v 12/3 wire
12) 15 Amp Bath Fan and lights 14/3

Calculating Load on Panel
by Formula
550sq ft x 3w = 1,650 total lighting and receptacle needs
Kitchen small appliance circuits 2 x 1500 = 3000
DW 1130
Clothes washer 15 x 110 = 1650
oven/range 9200n
clothes dryer 5280
water heater 12000
Air Con 3784
Fridge 15 x 110 = 1650
Bath Outlets 20 x 110 = 2200
Bath Light and Fan 15 x 110 = 1650
Total = 43,194
Per formula first 10,000 at 100% = 10,000
remaining 33,194 at 40% = 13,278
Total added = 23,278 / 230 = 101 amps
 
It is clearly Square D. The pic in #1 shows the yellow Square D symbol on the bottom right breaker.
Thanks! The panel is a couple thousand miles away in Hawaii so I appreciate the detective work based on the photo. My search on the internet revealed its most likely a 100 amp panel based on the 20 slots and the 100 amp main breaker. I intend to have an electrician evaluate the panel when I arrive. I want to add an in line water heater 220 50 amp, an air conditioner 220 20 amp, and bring the kitchen circuits up to code with 2 20 amp Circuits but I am concerned that the panel may not be able to carry that load. The breakers all add up to over 250. Perhaps I need to reconsider? I’m in the planning stage.

Firework you can’t add all them breakers what you are looking at on the breaker amperage. That’s called your calculated load and you also have a connected load. On an average day your probably pulling 15 amps max on your home The double pole breakers are not on at the same time like your stove, hot water heater, dryer etc. In my mind you have nothing to worry about

Thanks for your input! I’m going to have a pro evaluate the panel and look over my plan when I get to the island. Hopefully I can hire him to help me with the tough stuff. Thanks again!
