Need more information about what is connected to what, not just the colours of the wires at each place.

e.g. you mention red/yellow/blue at the rear switch. But not again - where does that cable go?

You have a brown at the front switch but nowhere else - where does that go?

And are those cables at the front all singles? Brown, black & black sounds very odd.

Your best bet would be to get a multimeter, work out which cables are live, and when, gain an understanding of how light switches work, and see if the answer is then obvious.....

Do you only have 1 cable at each light ?
