Electrical panel of an old Fiberform cabin cruiser - help ID the manufacturer?

Does anyone know if this electrical panel is Fiberform specific, or if it was sourced from a manufacturer that would have produced them for multiple companies? Id like to find a replacement for it since this one got wet and is severely corroded...

Also, any ideas where to source the far left dual 30A 'main' breaker?

you realize that technology has changed about 20 times since that panel was made.

the circuit breaker would have a manufacturers name on it. however take it to your local hardware store with an electrical department. that is a house AC breaker. looks like old Square D breakers

your two choices are to restore what you have, or replace it with something designed the last 20 years.

Hi, does anyone know what the purpose is of what looks to be a DPDT relay, the circuit boards, and the transformer on the 12v side of this electrical panel in a 1978 Fiberform Executive cruiser?

Also, any ideas where to source the far left dual 30A 'main' breakers for the 110v panel? The left side has an unusual black lead that goes from the breaker to the neutral bar (last image).

The main breaker is not a standard piece. The left side has a black cable coming out of it that connects to the neutral bar, and if you look at the picture of the panel, that left breaker is not connected to the rear bar. The right breaker has the 'hot' input which connects it to the bar, powering the rest of the 110v breakers. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZTuFMR4W5LxB9EG4A

Does anyone know what the purpose is of what looks to be a DPDT relay, the circuit boards, and the transformer on the 12v side (2nd image)?
