They are fairly standard rack slides. I don't remember offhand who manufactured them, but lots of companies used them. The same ones were used for RX01/RX02 floppy drives. They do show up on eBay fairly frequently, but don't bother searching for them as anything PDP-8, DEC, or even computer-related, as they were (and are) used all over many industries.
You need to be careful about length. A number of the random slides I picked up are too short for an 8/E. You have both how far you can pull out when extending the equipment and length to get to the rear mounting locations to worry about.
