I think the top of the 3 basophils you labeled is correct. The bottom two I'm a little skeptical, because I think you can see a layer of cytoplasm around a large nucleus, which would make them lymphocytes. It's really hard to tell though, so I'm willing to accept your labeling- I just want to clarify the distinction between those two types of cells.
