Yeah plenty of 40/45 on eBay without tab.

I did that in 2005, it's still sat in a cupboard while I continue to use an older fuse board than the OP's
It's getting confusing (at least for me)! Not only have I been looking for a tab that everyone had been calling a notch, but I've also been looking at the MCBs themselves, not the 'base'.
However, that does not materially alter what I am saying - I have one B40 for which both the device and the base have tabs, and another which shows no sign of either device or base ever having had a tab!

No wonder you are confused !
So this one will accept a 45a next to the main switch only. Assuming coloured part has a tab.
Can you see how???!!! Probably not

I don't think you can really blame me. This all started when I read the quote from flameport which read ...
... which is why I had been looking at the devices (rather than bases), and looking for a notch (rather than tab).
