No, only Sq D breakers will fit into a Sq D panel.
I believe Square D makes at least two styles of breakers. Home and industrial.
I have a GE entrance/distribution box that has Square D (home), Murray, Bryant, Westinghouse, and GE breakers, all working together. I hope this helps.

Is a circuit breaker better than a glass fuse?
Each device has its own special use. Glass fuses can protect circuit at very low amperages. They are usually used to protect printed circuit boards and control panel circuits.

Circuit breakers can be from 15 amps up into the thousands of amps.
Will cutler hammer breaker fit GE panel?
Cutler - Hammer manufactures two types of residential circuit breaker for the US. Type CH and type BR. The type BR will fit into most GE panels.

Will zinsco and gte circuit breakers interchange?
To my knowledge Zinsco/Sylvania breakers are the only breakers that will fit in a Zinsco panel. My recommendation as a journeyman electrician is to have your panel changed out. Those panels are old and outdated, not to mention replacement breakers are expensive. Most newer panels, and breakers are the cost of about 2 replacements.

Can you use a single pole circuit breaker rated for 120 volts with 60 hertz made for North American power in Europe on a 220 volt 50 hertz single phase circuit?
These are two completelydifferent systems and are incompatible with each other. Right from the manufacturer's specifications of the breakers down to the physical size of the electrical panels the breakers fit into.
What are electric panels?
Usually electrical panels are metallic enclosures that house electrical components. An electrical home panel contains the house's circuit breakers. An electrical control panel contains electrical controls such as relays that usually control other pieces of machinery or motors.
What is the place in the home that contains the circuit breakers?
The ciruit breaker box. This is usually mounted near the main power source in the home. Try the basement, the back porch, or near the kitchen. If all else fails, go outside and look where the power meter is. The breaker box should be nearby inside the home. In many homes the electrical panel is in the basement. In homes that do not have basements the electrical panel is placed in the garage.
Can you run an extra set of wires off a 20 amp breaker?
No, this is stated very clearly in the electrical code. Only one branch circuit is to be allowed connected to each individual circuit breaker no matter what the amperage is. If a new branch circuit is installed and there are no spare breakers then most distribution panels have the ability to let tandem breaker be installed in it. Tandem breakers have two terminals and two handles and have the ability to fit into a single slot in the distribution panel.
