Are Siemens and Eaton circuit breakers compatible?

Eaton’s UL classified breakers are designed and tested to be both mechanically and electrically interchangeable with circuit breakers manufactured by General Electric, Thomas & Betts, ITE/Siemens, Murray, Crouse-Hinds, and Square D.

Are Murray and Siemens circuit breakers interchangeable?

Siemens and Murray are indeed the same company. The parts are physically interchangeable (and AFAICT, identical except the label), but Murray breakers are technically not certified for the Siemens panels, and thus not allowed by NEC code. Siemens purchased Murray a few years ago.
