    Try Ikea.
    A quick search came up with these shelves:
    http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/products/storage-furniture/shelving-units-systems/flysta-shelving-unit-white-art-30377242/

    Two of those would give you approx 138 x 132 cm.

    Unfortunately the alcove is too narrow for two of them.

    Could you not trim the cross-members to fit?

    I'd have to completely take apart and remake one of the bookcases.

    No you wouldn't. It'd arrive in taken apart form.

    So I'd have to saw off the shelves and drill holes for dowels and so on?

    Drill the existing holes deeper before you cross cut.

    rip the backing board down.

    bit of work but either that of make one from scratch.
