I bought the blank set off of Amazon but the blanks were not labeled. They are supposed to be cocobolo, padauk, zebra wood, tiara, pau ferro. I think the one on the left is cocobolo, the right one is padauk and the middle one is zebra wood. Not sure about the other two. What I got looks very much like this picture. Are my guesses right? Any idea on the other two?

The ones between Zebra wood and Padauk would be the Pau Ferro or similar. The other, on this phone at least, looks a little like Mahogany.

I'd say (from left to right): cocobolo, tiama, zebrawood, Pau ferro, padauk.

Tiama is a common name for many species similar to (sometimes called) mahogany. The color varies a lot, complicated by the fact it is not a single species.

Pau ferro is also called Bolivian rosewood, the blank 4th from the left looks quite similar to blanks that I have labeled as Bolivian rosewood. Also called Santos rosewood.

The other three I am pretty confident about and agree with you.
