23-272 looks like the track I have but my doors are wider than most I guess and my track is 3.5 inches wide. Everything I see though is only 2 13/16. I don't think my doors will be able to pass each other at that point. Do you have any tracks 3.5 wide that I'm just not seeing or am I just kind of out of luck. It seems all the new stuff uses thinner doors & narrower tracks

What's the distance between the rails on your track? That's more important than the overall track width itself, and should be the main factor in whether these replacements can work.

Picture & tape for all measurements. Track is kind of bent up so I tried to trace it to make it easier.

Most of our concave tracks have a rail distance of about 1-11/16". Your rails are indeed wider apart it seems. Unfortunately so many different versions of these tracks were made over the years, there is always a risk of this--and not being able to find something with that distance. I am afraid you may not be able to use a new track without repositioning the doors; a pro in your area might be best to do this. I apologize for the inconvenience, and good luck with the repair.
