Damsel in distress

Hi. I am trying to replace a 2 gang intermediate light switch. The switch I have currently has the following connections. Top: L1 and L1 on the left, Common on the right. Bottom: L2 and L2 on the left, L1 and L2 on the right. My new switch has the following. Top: L1 and L1 on the left with the same in the right. Bottom: L2 and L2 on the left with the same in the right. Some (not very clear) photos attached. Please can someone help me with the wiring.

The top pic is very unclear.
 
In the first picture the left hand switch is Intermediate, the right is 2 way

The new switch is 2 x intermediate switches.
On the left hand new switch match the connections on the old one. ie.
Top blue left, top yellow right
Bottom blue left, bottom yellow right.

On the righthand new switch put the Red that's in the old switch on the right into either of the new top righthand L1.
The bottom Yellow and Blue matching the old.

The righthand new Intemediate will work as a 2 way

Looks like the lef hand switch as you look at it from the back is an intermediate, whilst the right hand switch is a 2 way.
The replacement looks like a 2 gang intermediate, imo
