You could also link the handle holes of the polarity switches with a solid piece
(as opposed to a single linking axel through the axel holes).  You should be
able to get a 45 degree tilt this way also.

Linking via the handles would cause problems.  First, there is a great deal of
friction added to the system when an axle is in that hole.  Second, I think the
proposed method requires the switches to continue rotating the same direction.

I was assuming that handles would not be used, because the switches would have
to be "reset" if handles were used.

Yes, the proposed solution would require one way rotation, but I assume that
this would be simply done given the axle going through the switch.

I was merely providing a solution to the original problem as stated.  I'm not
saying it is a fabulous, or the best, but it does meet the requirement of two
three way switches.

I have not come up with a good pneumatic solution yet, but I'm thinking about
it!
