It appears you are attempting to load an image from an older UV5R with and older incompatible firmware to a newer UV5R. You should either:
1- Create a new template from the newer radio and do a cut/paste of frequencies or
2- Export to a .csv from the older radio and import it to the newer radio.
CHIRP is handling these as two separate radios.

You are probably trying to upload a CHIRP Radio Image file that was saved from a radio having BFB or BFS firmware into a radio that has N5R firmware. That is a no-no.
What you must do is download from the new radio to create a tab compatible with that radio. Then import the image that has the channels that you are wanting to load into it.
File -> Import -> change file mask to "CHIRP Radio Images (*.img)", choose the .img file, and then import the channels that you want into the positions that you want, and finally upload into your radio.

How can you determine which firmware your UV5-R has ?

Download from the radio to CHIRP (the best version for Baofeng radios is any daily build from October 2014 or later). Then take a look on the Settings -> Other Settings menu tab.
If "Firmware Message 1" is " Ver ", then the firmware version is in "Firmware Message 2", otherwise the firmware version is in "Firmware Message 1". All UV-5R radios (and variants) with firmware version after BFB297 will have their "real" firmware version in "Firmware Message 1".
