Default Help need with console side panel

I'm trying to put my interior back together and my console side panels (thats what I call them) are in real bad shape. I got some extra particle board from work and I'm re-doing them. I was planning to use mine as templates but the Driver's side is in three pieces and I only found 2 of the three pieces so this is where you come in.
Can anyone give me the dimensions of the missing piece? The picture below would be looking at it from the backside. Thanks in advance.

The driver's side and passenger's sides are not mirror images before you ask.

Angel, you are welcome to use mine as a template if you would like. I am leaving town for a few days but I can leave word with my fiance that you will come by to get them.

Call me if you want them.

My passengers side looks just about the same except it is curved. Are they supposed to be flat?

Thanks!

Angel, don't use particle board if you need to bend it permanently. If you get a piece of wall panelling, you'll get almost the exact same stuff as OEM (you can look at the back of the panelling before you buy it to see) and then you can steam it and block it into the curve you want, it won't fall apart like particle board. If you don't have a steamer, hot water is almost as good but you can't leave it in too long or better, wet the back of it with a quick rinse and then heat it with an iron, it pushes the water into the wood so you can bend it. Use patience young padawan and it will bend almost anyway you need. Did this once for a panel van and carpeting many years ago when it was "cool"
