I actually think that that's about right. Ruby could be a reference to Dorothy, with the Ruby Slippers. Also, now that Zwei came into the picture, that would totally make them Dorothy and Toto. She also fell asleep in a rose patch in the movie, which I would connect with her Crescent Rose.

Weiss would have to be the Tin Man. While not being painfully obvious, Weiss is very stiff and cold, like metal. Then, thorugh her experiences with RWBY, she slowly comes around as a nicer person. Even though her weapon couldn't be linked with the axe, she seems like the choice for Tin Man.

Blake would be the Cowardly Lion because of multiple reasons. The cat ears for one. Second, in "Mountain Glenn", she describes her semblance as running away from people while leaving behind a hollow copy.

Yang would be left as the Scarecrow. Why? Well, it's described that Yang's hair is her source of power. This would meant that she loses power if her hair gets pulled out. This would be similar to the Scarecrow falling apart if you pulled out the straw inside him. Her character can also be kinda ditsy at times, making it  so she doesn't "have a brain".

Then, we have Ozpin and Glenda, who I would definitely say are the Good Fairy and the Wizard of Oz.

Any how, that's my take on the theory
