2 way 2 gang hall lightswitch how do I wire

[Andy Essex]

1st time on here
I am changing a 2 gang lightswitch on my top landing that controls top landing light and the one on the floor below
The old switch is wired as follows
Blue wire with red sleeve to L2 top
Red wire to L3 top
Yellow wire with red sleeve to L1 bottom
Yellow with red sleeve to L1 top
2 red wires to L3 bottom
Black and blue wire to L2 bottom

New switch has the following

Top - comm , L2 , L1
Bottom L2 , L1 and comm

Can someone advise me what wires should go where

Thanks very much

#32.. RYB wires.. for the numpties that might open up the switch and think it’s either an old 3 phase switch, the blue is a neutral or whatever other daft assumptions they may have

They already are marked with red sleeves...

Specsavers will be doing a good trade tomorrow.

blue, red, yellow, black...

It is the old 5 core we used to use for 2 way switching, and I mean old

Once you detect bi-polar, you will never forget how awful it is...not a joke.

You missed out a comma, just after the word grammar.
