On the old switches L1 is COM on new switch
L2 is L1 on new switch
and L3 is L2 on new switch
and the good thing is you have pics of the wiring BEFORE you removed any from the terminals

They look exactly the same to me - three or two triangles with one up side down.

Thank you think that clear it up more just so confusing with them having differing number attached to them
