I may be misreading things, but it looks like the XXX-2-XXXXXX and XXX-62-XXXXXX series you link are extremely similar to the properly functioning stock postwar thermal breakers in the fact that at ~200% overload it still takes up to 20 or so seconds to trip. Don't take this as an argument that these are bad breakers or that they can't be used, but far from being magnitudes "better" by being "instant".
Now, they do make series 0 and 69 which are instant, but the price per unit is ~10x as much!
