By the instructions on the red label, looks like an early panel with some breakers being used. I have seen some mixed panels up here with breaker main disconnects and fuses as circuit protection.

I'm wondering if the main disconnect may actually be a fused pull-out similar to what we see in older fuse panels for electric dryers/stoves.

I won't speak for the single and two pole CB's, but according to the label those twin CB's are a violation of the panel listing.
