NB- The ones you posted are C type and are NOT really designed for domestic use. They handle a high in rush current without trip, sometimes used for some lighting type in homes, but more often for industrial used such as electric motors.
Unless you have an unusual set up in doors the MCB's should all be B type.

to turn it into a ring final.
