First switch left side (3 terminals):

com = red (from 3 core)
L1 = blue (from 3 core)
L2 = yellow (from 3 core)

also in same side

com = red (from two core)
L1 = black (from two core) (com and L1 terminals will now have 2 wires each in)

otherside of switch

com = red (from 3 core)
L1 = blue (from 3 core)
L2 = yellow (from 3 core)

Other switch same but other way around with 2 core on other side.

I think you may be wrong mate.Red into L1 and Black into L2 from the 2 core.The rest is fine.

you are right I was told some years ago
red to yellow and black to blue because black and blue is what you will be if you get it wrong
