OK I have never seen one of the panels you have listed in this area as of yet and I’ve seen a few. So when you post the answer, please give the determining factors that make it obvious of what type of panel it is. Thank you.

If you look at the side of this burned out breaker, you can see the “blade type” bus bars that are only found in Zinsco and Zinsco/Sylvania panels.


There are other indicators that are obvious as we become more familiar with Zinsco - the "look" of the breaker is another tale tell sign.

Here is another example for comparison.
