Just connect them, one at a time, exactly as they are connected to the old switch. Blue from the left switch to the same position on the new switc. Same with the yellow, then blue from the right switch to same on the new switch. Repeat with yellow.
Brown from left switch to same position on new switch. Brown from left switch to same on new switch. Ignore the markings, they are just different manufacturers markings and don't alter any cable positions.
I take it this is a two way circuit?

Ok.


Brown from left switch to same position on new switch. Brown from left switch to same on new switch.
Would you like to rewrite that? :)

Red from left switch to same position on new switch and Red from right switch to same position on right switch

Yes.
 
Yes it is. Thanks. For your help.
I agree with your logic. The only bit for me is the new switch has got a top sign. It all seems upside down. !?

Yes.
Ooops! I was trying to post it before needing to go out.

Regarding the brown/red, I apologise. As I'm getting older my colour recognition is fading alongside with my eyesight.
Thank you for the corrections.
 
Red with link to both com.

The other two reds in the two 1's
