I would say cocobolo.
Seems not to be nearly Red enough for bloodwood, and, while it is orange enough to be padauk, padauk isn't all that common in grips. Or not that I know of. Padauk also has a coarser and more porous appearance. The grain pattern on your grips also suggests cocobolo.
Cocobolo is a very common grip material, and can run a gamut of shades from very dark red to a very light orange. The orange shade would likely stay that way with a clear film finish like lacquer or varnish.
BTW, I have a set of Esmeralda's grips for my stainless J frame. Exquisite is all I can saw about them. Right up with with Craig Spegels.
