If, IF, you are a good woodworker and have good command of your tools and materials, I would say to mill away that "tongue" and about the same amount again from the rail and glue in a whole new continuous strip of mahogany that runs the full length front to back.
If you don't have the tools and skills to do that and end up with everything being the right width and thickness, find somebody to handle it for you (like RR).
