The guy on the left is obviously the standard bearer as he has the banner pole, and the guy on the right is the chaplain, the crozius that he is holding, plus the way you painted him makes him recognizable. A proxy is something like the "this flamer represents a plasma gun" or somesuch. Proxies are fine when testing and playing around testing before you drop the money on stuff, but when getting into campaigns and events you need to understand that people are going to expect proper representations of the models and their gear.
But who is to say what a proper representation of a flamer looks like? I don't like the idea of having something obviously confusing like using a plasma gun model as a flamer, that's just lazy and misleading, but other stuff is fine I think. It doesn't matter if it looks nothing like a flamer, just avoid it looking a lot like something else.
