Which one would be a blonde, young Padmasambhava as described in the prayer? I am having a hard time finding a thangka for that.

The prayer correspond with Mandala of Tukdrub Barche Kunsel: http://rywiki.tsadra.org/index.php/Tukd ... hey_Kunsel
The name of each deity is written before the corresponding part in the translation of Lotsawa House, so if you tell me which one you are interested in I can tell you how it looks like.

Gyalwe Dungdzin, (I think I got Maw(e) Seng(e) as a scholar correctly, not too sure), Kyechok Tsul Zang, Dukyi Shechen, Dzam Ling Gyen Chok(I'm not too sure if thangkas ever blonde hair at all!), (I think I got Pema Jungne correct as the usual Padmasambhava we first see on Google), not too sure what Khyepar Pakpe Rigdzin is, Dzutrul Thuchen(what is the difference from that and other forms? They all seem to bound others to oaths.), Dorje Drakpo Tsal(not too sure if he is a fat man holding a scorpion or a furious black figure with phurbas on a lion or has a phurba appearance), Kalden Drendze, Raksa Totreng(is there really a difference between him and his form as Dzam Ling Gyen Chok?), and Guru Dechen Gyalpo(maybe the Padmasambhava we see usually or something?).

The one next to the 5 Medicine Sisters with a "Mahakala" appearance? Because here in the prayer, it gives a more peaceful appearance. Or is it the Blue skinned one to main Padmasambhava's left with a "Bonpo" hat?

I think you need to download the jpeg that has been linked to, label each one of the forms (using some sort of simple "paint" program) and then upload it to here as an attachment.

Google drive is more preferable for me.

I am not sure how interested the op is. I am quite familiar with this mandala and don't mind sharing information about it.
