Though the schematics indicate the relays are DPDT:

  1. Because both poles are connected in parallel (4 connected to 5 and 3 connected to 6) the relay acts as a single pole relay
  2. Because 2 and 7 have no external connection (only common 3/6 and switched 4/5 are connected externally) the relay acts as a single thow on/off relay - energised = ON; de-energised = OFF

May or may not work won't know till I try.
