2 double switches for 2 hallway lights

[PabloEscobar78]

I've got 2 double switches to wire for 2 hallway lights. Each switch has cable connecting to one light then cable between the 2 backboxes, which says strap on it. How do I wire the double switches so they can turn each light on and off?

you may find that it's been wired so that both lights come on together. can't be sure without being physically there with test meter/s.

Who installed the cabling.

On the first picture, what is marked on the left hand cable?

There isn’t enough cables there to have 2 lights controlled by 2 x 2 way switches.

pop the backboxes out the wall and check there’s no more cables hiding in the wall.

Both the light positions have this set up, with one switch cable to both back boxes (the dark cable) and one switch cable between both back boxes.

That ceiling point looks like it has a three core 'n cpc hanging from it.
