Anyone know about fit & function of Siemens and Eaton PON AFCI breakers in the other's panels?

Specifically: will Siemens PON AFCI breakers plug and function correctly in an Eaton PON panel?

They kinda look a little similar and may interchange, but I need to confirm.

Unlike the SquareD HL PON AFCI breakers which look like they will only fit into a SquareD HL panel.

The problem:
Siemens 40/80 PON panels are not available for sale in US. Only Eaton & SqD panels are readily available in 40/80 w/PON.

I can use the Siemens pigtail AFCI breakers in Eaton or SqD HL panels but I like the wiring cleanliness & time savings of PON.

Cannot find any PON breaker seat interchange/compatibility information online.

Thanks

Unless a breaker has been classified by UL to be used in a competitive make of panel,they can't be used, for the 1" wide breakers only Eaton CL has been classified by UL to be used in another make, & Eaton CL & BR are not the same, using Siemens & SQ D breakers in competitive panels is not code compliant. The PON panels are relatively new offerings, so any UL classification is going to take a while.

Siemens does make a plug-on neutral 54/82 panel. It is taller but would give you more room.
