The two loops of red wire on the original backplate are wired internally on the new, so N and L the same as the original, but no need to wire to the two switch common terminals, as this is already done.
The switches on the Hive aren't identified, but the two 'offs' appear to be terminals 1 and 2, and the two 'ons' 3 and 4, so, probably,
1 (original) = 3 (new)
2 = Internally connected
3 = 1
4 =4
5 = Internally connected
6 =2
This assumes that the Hive switches are shown in the 'off' position, and the left hand switch is water, with the right hand heating.

That confirms what I was assuming, so the connections should be as in my last post.
I've never understood the idea of having a standardised back plate for programmers, but no standardisation in the actual connections.

There is no wire going to number 6 on the existing programmer, sorry for all the questions, and is the link between live and 2 required thanks
