3PDT Switch Board for True Bypass Looper

I have already built a seven channel true bypass looper but this is the first time I have tried to use a wiring board for my 3pdt switches. I ordered these (http://www.mammothelectronics.com/Wiring-Board-for-4SFS3PDT-Switches-p/1100-401.htm) but I was looking at this (http://effectsconnection.com/reviewblog/wp-content/images/bypass%20loop.gif) diagram and the wiring is different. I drew out the lug configurations on a piece of paper and it seems like the center column is switched out with the left column. So I think that on the wiring board I'll connect it as so:

1 --> send tip
2 --> input tip or 6 on next board or output tip (depending on which channel it is)
3 --> send sleeve
4 --> return sleeve
5 --> LED (neg terminal)
6 --> next board's 3 or the output tip (again depending on the channel)

I think this looks like it should work but I don't know if swapping the center column and the left column on a 3pdt switch will mess up the relay. I hope this post makes sense. Any help would be awesome!
