The AZ names are different for each account.
Wow, how did I not know this? Thanks for the info.
They randomise the AZ letters, because humans tend to shove things in 'a' before anywhere else - it's a psychological load-balancer.
If you want to figure out which of your AZs corresponds to another account's AZs, you can compare spot-prices, which are individual per AZ. Also, for some reason, my account doesn't have a 'b', just a-c-d-e. Weird.

They also introduced us-east-1f, and it's the same for everyone because it's new :).
