Need help figuring out an import 3 way switch for esquire wiring

i've looked around and couldn't find a definitive solution so i'm posting my question. i recently got a tele copy i want to wire up as an esquire with the arlo mod/tone and volume/volume only as the 3 positions. i can't figure out the lugs on the switch as they are all inline and all the esquire drawings i've found are for fender style switches. could someone help me out? for some reason inline switches screw up my thinking so badly.

bump

i did a little testing and came up with the following results (recreated as best as i could in paint)

when i hooked up a 9 volt, i connected it to the green "lugs" on my switch. each position got power from their respective lugs and an arc was created on the blue lugs. i still can't figure out which lugs are equivalent to the fender "side by side" lugs. if anyone could help out from here it would save me a lot of figuring (clearly i'm not too good with electrical)
