The critical element is if they match the connectors in the electric panel and you use the correct amperage breaker for the wiring of the circuit. Connectors to the electric panel must match exactly because you don't want to force the replacement breaker or have it not fit when the panel cover is reinstalled.

The above stated matters to an extent but not really the issue. It is much deeper to the extent that if not UL rated for that panel or a direct replacement via corporate buy out over the years it can become A. an issue and fail inspection B. a hazard well beyond amp rating of the breaker or "fitting correctly when panel cover reinstalled" C. without being UL rated or an acceptable replacement it can become an insurance issue, that could fall on homeowner or inspector or whomever last worked inside the panel. I just grazed the surface. Some breakers are well made, some manufacturers deceive even to get UL rating when in fact they tested improperly etc...

Yes some breakers can replace challenger breakers. Often falling in line with which company bought out challenger or the rights. Read tag on load center to find out what breaker types are acceptable. Then proceed to search which manufacturers make breakers that are acceptable within that panel. wash. rinse. repeat. keep digging.

It is not recommended to mix breaker brands in a panel as different brands may not fit or function correctly. It can also void warranties and result in potential safety hazards. It's best to use breakers specified by the panel manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.
