Yes, they're not much bigger than they need to be, but maybe deep
enough for your purpose. I have drawers from two cabinets, both
measure

    internal: 16 1/4" x 7 5/8" x 3 11/16"
    external: 17 5/8" x 7 11/16" x 3 3/4"

There's a vertical flange sticking up at one or sometimes both ends, to
stop the drawer being accidentally slid right out. Iincluding that,
the overall external height is 4 1/16", but the aperture in the cabinet
will be just over 3 3/4".
