Those look like the normal narrow slides DEC typically used (not the narrow ones that pivot used on a PDP-11/20 or the big wide ones used on later PDP-11 mounting boxes). I don't have any exactly like that available. I do have some that are the same size, and might work, but the detent is different. The detent is a little lever that catches on a pin. On the slide pairs I have available to spare, one side has a shorter slide insert than the other - and it is possible only one side has the detent.
If you think you might be interested, drop me a line, and I will pop out to my storage unit and take some photos.
