2 Gang 1 way replaced by 2 gang 2 way switch, 2 way NOT REQ

[SteelRain]

I know this is not quite UK electrics but I have had no success from the correct forum so I hope someone may be able to at least suggest something as I cannot return them to the shop.

I have inadvertently bought a 2 gang - 2 way switch to operate a 2 gang 1 way connection.
The current wiring for 2 gang 1 way is; 1 red wire at the bottom and 2 black at the top.
I have tried this on the new switch but without success.

Unfortunately as I am in Portugal, the new light switch only has numbers which are; 1 & 2 on the bottom, 3 & 4 on the top, with L5 & L6 in the middle.
There is no earth wire available.

The red wire(live) comes from a spur behind the switch which gets its live from 2 other red wires which are blocked together.

I do not want to operate via 2 way, just a normal 1 position on-off if this is possible.

Thank you for any help you can suggest.

Perfectly possible. Just wire to each end of the switch, if they work upside down turn the switch over.

Or not.

Maybe L5 & L6 are the Common terminals.

Should be easy enough to find out though - SteelRain, just use your multimeter to establish which terminals are connected together for each position of the rockers.
