I want to identify a circuit breaker for a disconnected stove in my main

How can I tell which breaker controls this particular circuit?

Ummm... why not take the cover off the panel, and see which breaker those #6
red and black wires go to?

Ok if there's only one pair...

Even if there are more than one, it certainly narrows down the possibilities.
