Sure is. Right next to a nice Wadsworth side-arm disconnect.

Well, at least it has copper bus bars

I found that interesting as well.

That was their original bus-bar design, prior to using aluminum. . .

Zinsco introduced AL bus bars in the 60’s with copper bus bars prior to that. Prior to the copper bus bars, the “Magnatrip” breakers had a line-side and load-side conductor, or a screw-tap for the line side of the breaker - no bus bars.
