  Strange question, how deep are the drawers in punch
card cabinets,
 the tops are pretty much flush with the card aren't they?   I'm
 assuming I couldn't be lucky enough for them to be another 0.25-1

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".
