    Old Tenby 2 way 2 gang light switch terminals not labelled

    Replacing some old Tenby switches. The upstairs landing and hall are 2 way 2 gang with 6 terminals. The switch has the old thin switches with arched top and they aren't labelled on the back. It looks like COM L1 L2 on each side. Anyone have much experience with this type of switch?
