Hi Robyn2839,

From the picture of the new switch it looks like when the switch is turned to the right, connections 2 & 4, are made and so are 6 & 8 and when turned to the left, 1 & 3 are made and so are 5 & 7. There won't be any connections made between the front and rear switch banks unless you deliberately link them.

Hi Robyn2839,

From memory the contact layout is the same but the switch is rotated by 90 degrees.

But I have no way of checking that.

You really need a multimeter to check that this is correct. Both the front and rear sections are the same.
