As long as the the opening up front and back is perfectly square, then any side mount Accurate slide will fit perfectly as long as the gap required by Accuride is 1/2" They make an over extension slide also, but looking what you have there, full extension will help your wife.
Accuride 3834 is what you will need. They have a 1" over travel and we install lots of them over the years. rated at 90 lbs. You must get their screw, 1/2 pan head. Anything else, it will rub and catch then she will kick you azz out in the cold. Don't skimp on the 'lil screws. Put about 4-5 of them on there especially the ones on the front edge that goes into the cabinet side.
Let me know if you want to go fancy and use Blum but I need more details on the width to make it work. Learn how to cuss now, you will need it due to the confine space you must work in.

What do you mean ‘full’ and ‘over extension’? Ideally there’d be an extra long extension so tray can reach out really far (to the floor)? Thinking of widening that counter when we replace it.
The doors are a huge problem. We use those counters a lot but can’t open doors once counter is covered in stuff. Plus this is maybe our 4th set of hinges. Lifetime warranty but only last 4 or 5 years.
Is there a generic barn door slider system? We think we’d like to convert doors to side sliders. ?
