Gives you the "Specifications" tab.

Clicking on the "Documentations" tab gives you

This says nothing about being a make-before-break switch. These being $2.81 each, buy two or one extra switch, take one apart by prying out the tabs down the side beneath the mounting threads. Then you should probably tell what kind of break it is. You may be able to get this switch back together but the extra one was in case you cannot, you will still have a good switch or switches.
