What breakers are compatible with this GE panel and how can I safely shut off power to the busbars without redoing the entire service?

Hey, does anyone happen to know which breakers are compatible with this? I’m leaning towards GE. I might need to shut down power to the busbars to figure it out. My idea is to just buy a bunch of different breakers to see if any of them fit. They double-tapped the 50 and fused it for an AC unit, so my only other option is to redo the whole service with a meter main.
Incredible!
It’s designed for a mobile home socket, but Eaton should be compatible.

You’re reading my thoughts
At least we can be sure this “conduit” is waterproof, right?
All because of that electrical tape!
Is the reason the water stays in, not out.
Reg, I’m pretty sure that hoses work both ways, right? 🤣
The type of breaker you use doesn’t matter as much as using a garden hose as conduit
Rick oldsmith is apparently a master electrician according to his profile 🤔
Is this a special at the campsite?
Sure, I can help with that. Just let me know what changes you want to make!
It might be best to just leave this situation and walk away!
These are Cutler Hammer BR series breakers.
It’s like a breath of fresh air.
Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to your question lol. If I can’t remove the panel for good photos, I won’t make guesses about the breaker info.
It seems like E or Sylvania O’Bryant breakers should do the job if needed

Can you confirm if that conduit is schedule 40 or 80?
Whoa, he’s actually 60 🤦♂️
Is 50 feet tall
Ouch, that’s hard to look at. It seems like someone had a bunch of junk and needed power urgently.
Isn’t it crazy how someone used a garden hose as sealtight?
I was seriously impressed by the garden hose idea
Are you thinking of going with Eaton or Siemens breakers?
Neat seal that is secure
These breakers are made by E.
Szymanski sounds good 👍
Wouldn’t teck cable be a better option?
The ones that are black!
The fitting for the hose conduit tape really surprised me
I have never encountered green UF before
Siemens, right?
Eaton brand
Can we try to post some new stuff instead of the same old things from last week? Thanks!
Pagliaro, as indicated in his profile, is an expert electrician
Is a scammer
Pagliaro maybe hacked?

I’m curious if the inside of a garden hose is considered wet, dry, or maybe damp?
I can’t believe anyone would fall for this kind of nonsense.
Do you see those breakers over there? I have a feeling those might be the ones you’re looking for… Just a hunch…
There’s something suspicious about this post 🤔
Does it even make a difference? Just put anything in there.
20 gallons per minute
Traditional liquid type conduit
Wow, the classic x in the garden hose trick… Seriously? Bussbar? I highly doubt there’s buried bussbar powering that pedestal… more likely conduit with wires inside. By the way, the fact that you’re asking for help here and planning to buy all the parts yourself suggests you should really consider calling a licensed electrician…
