Set Background
Load Image
Drag into position
Draw a rectangle of the right size as a size check:

and additional rectangles as needed for spacing:
and positioning:

OK
which doesn’t quite line up, so we re-draw the front/back outline:
Delete the wrong construction:
Duplicate the original:
twice
and drag both into registration:
select the re-drawn geometry:
shift-click on one of the duplicates to add it to the selection as the key object (indicated by a dashed highlight)
then use Boolean Subtraction:
to remove what is not wanted:
OK
Repeat for the other side:
OK
Hide the background image:
OK
Duplicate the front/back:
Verify that things fit as expected:
