Far better picture for the purpose...that shows the end of the tail on
RH is split from the drawer side and stuck in the front.

The gum being pretty soft has compressed some; the dovetail angles
weren't sharp-enough for the softer wood.Â* Can't do much about those
problems now unless going to completely recut both.

This does show there is room for some shim material to refit the tails
to their sockets; the way one does this is to glue a piece of veneer or
the like to the tail then re-machine back down to the needed
size--basically it's _verysharp_ chisel/handwork time.

Ideally you could retrieve the broken tail piece from where it is and
reglue it before reassembling rather than just try to glue the break in
situ.

The LH side of the RH pin is almost dead-straight, almost no angle at
all...if I could get it apart, I'd be strongly tempted to recut that
socket to have an angle matching the RH (broken) side and add the stock
to the pin to match.

The second-from-left is also almost perfectly straight with what is left
of the pin--looks like there may be some missing material there as well.
That socket is pretty good in dimension, making a new pin to fit if
very will would be a goal.

Can't tell for sure about the leftmost one, there's the glueline of the
side material right at the point where the pin is cut; it looks again
like there's some missing material there that split off either
orignally, even, maybe or has since broken and looks to be gone.
There's that little triangular broken piece on the drawer front; back
where it began if there's enough to reglue it and would have a decent
socket angle there.

The middle just needs a little extra material to fill in the space...

It's tedious work at best, unfortunately. I did something similar to
drawers on the work clothes dresser in the basement a few years
ago...they were in far worse shape and ended up ripping down the side of
the drawer and replacing the bottom 1" or so with new pins cut to match.

They had had nails and other hardware inserted over the years that had
really split and sundered pieces--you at least have (mostly) intact
starting point. The soft gum with the shallow angle is the major issue
of why they failed.
