The left one is the Command Block, which was already mentioned by @Bailey Rowland.

Just writing this for completeness, the right one is the Item Frame. The border of the item frame is the texture of birch wood plank, and the back uses that texture.

In fact, on the Minecraft Wiki there is an image indicating what terrain.png represents:

Just FYI, the format of texture pack was changed since Minecraft 1.5, so the information is not strictly applicable for Minecraft 1.5 or above.
