This was one of the first mantras I learned after the maha-mantra. After years of saying it I realized that I could not tell you who was who in this picture. Sure, I knew Sri Chaitanya is in the middle and that Sri Nityananda was probably the guy dressed in blue, but that was far as it went.
So, the answer is, from left to right;
Sri Advaita - Sri Nityananda - Sri Gouranga - Sri Gadahara - Sri Srivasa.
And according the second version Sri Nityananda is not in blue. So, I'm attaching the names from the second picture to the images of the first, which is the published version (BG 1983 edition). Also I know that Sri Advaita was the oldest of Sri Gouranga's devotees. And there you go.
Here is a link for the audio book Chaitanya Bhagavata by Vrindavana dasa Thakura; an excellent biography of Lord Chaitanya and His devotees:
