Extra 6 amp circuit breaker element needed

About 9 years ago an electrician installed for me a Proteus circuit breaker box which has space for 1 new circuit breaker (are these all called MCB for domestic use?).

Trouble is Screwfix and B&Q don’t do Proteus - can I use another make in the board I have? Would they fit? For example B&Q do “Wylex 6A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)” for £6.

Thanks

    never cross different types of breakers as they will not fit properly
