Here's a picture of it in the trip position.

It's the breaker labeled "R" on the right (4 breakers down from the top).
15 amps. Seems to be "taped?" together with another one, which is
independent.

(Why the tape?)
Maybe it's a non-ganged dual unit?


Looks like it is one of the "tandem" style, where you have 2
independent breakers in one "space" in the panel. Generally not used
until the panel runs out of spaces.
