More wires than expected! - outside wall lamp

I want to put up a new external wall lamp. I have found more wires than I know what to do with. Three browns (two in a dummy block) three blues (two in a wago and one loose, sleeved red), two earths.

I wonder how to connect these to the new light which has one loose blue, one earth in a three way wagon and one brown in a double wago.

There is a second light further down the wall on the same switch.

Is it the earths with the earth in the wago? The loose blue in the light to the wago in the wall with a blue? And then the loose brown and sleeved blue into the light fixture wago with a brown? And leave the two browns coming out of the wall in the dummy?

Is there a switch to operate this/those?
Did both lights come on with it?
Was anything automatic?
Can you remember anything about the old fitting?
 
Just got back from Granddady taxi service, didn't see your reply. The configuration was my expectation but I wanted to know a little before I agreed it.

Well done, thanks for the feedback.
