So your new switch terminals are labelled L1, L2 & COM, and your old switch terminals are labelled 1, 2 & C.

Can't you spot the equivalence?
 
Do you mean that the switch says 'intermediate'? Are there two other switches that operate this circuit?

Send us a pic of the connections of the old set up and the rear of the new switch.
