It could say 360/480 on it but the way it's mounted in that box, it's 120. The only way you're going to get 240 out of that box is if the circuit breaker is making runner contact with BOTH the red and black wire at the top.

That means the 240v breaker has to go in the middle and two singles on either side for the current outlets and lights. You need to buy two single breakers to replace the one on the right. If you use the 20A on the left for 240, you need to pin the two levers together also.
