New for old

[Philze1]

Good morning,

I'm replacing a 2 gang, two-way switch, however the new doesn't match the old. Any ideas how they correspond?

The red cables at the bottom are the commons so on the new switch one to L1 and the other to L2 then swap the other cables over to the corresponding switch

Left bottom red into COM1
Right bottom red into COM2
Left blue into L12
Left yellow into L11
Red and yellow into L22
Blue and black into L21

If that is a metal switch then earths to it's earth terminal.

Thanks for reply. If commons, would the two bottom reds not connect into COM1 and COM2 on the new switch (left)?

See #3.

Amazing thanks, and well spotted, it is a metal plate

Just a side note.

Think of your switch as two triangles, the terminals being the corners.
The old switch, both triangles pointing down….
The new switch, it’s one pointing up, other pointing down.
