Little motor wiring help

I’ve finally got a motor for my lathe graciously provided by fantastic forum member tobarapprentice.

I had a motor reversing switch in my collection of things I was planing to use.

Issue is the motor wining tags are all colours and the switch is what I thought was the standard T1,T2,T3,L1,L2,L3.

Switch is a benedikt&jäger m10h it also has two unlabelled terminals on both the T and L sides. I
Labeled them as right and left T or L
RL,LL,RT,LT.

Went over the switch with my ohmmeter to figure the connections.
Hopefully you fellas will have a far better eye for it then I, I can’t see the pattern that will work. Or maybe it’s not the right type of switch. For my application.

Now back to trying to fit this beast!

Ugh I might be dinked on this now Center rib in the lathe interferes with the placement of the motor. Never thought I’d have this issue with this large of a lathe.
I’ll start a separate thread on this
 
But it is a reversing switch - so 3 inputs on one side and 3 on the other with the goal of switching a wire on the motor to get it to reverse, correct?

When you switch it to one side the T1- T3 should connect to L1 - L3 straight - T1 to L1, T2 to L2 and T3 to L3. The other way it should do a flip.
