AC Breaker source?

The Islander factory used a single pole, pushbutton breaker/switch on the AC and DC electrical panels. This is a very unique breaker in that it is a pushbutton, a switch for the circuit and a breaker. I would like to add additional circuits to the AC panel but can only find pushputton thermal breakers that do not act as switches, or regular single pole magnetic breakers that would require serious hole drilling and modifications to the panel. These are 1985 vintage units that I can't seem to locate in any catalog or searching with Google.

Does anyone know of a source for such units or should I just figure on tearing out the entire panel this winter and making the modification for the magnetic breakers?
