I gave this a lot of thought and it can be done with an action. I tested this and it does work for me.


Make a new blank file the same size as the largest image. Make four layers, on each layer make a rectangle for each side in the dimension you want to remove and fill it with a color. (top, bottom, right side, left side) Doesn't matter where the rectangle is placed on this file.


Name and save the file as a psd. (I called it crop.psd) Close the file.


Open one of the target images.


Start recording a new action as follows:


Open the crop.psd you just created

highlight the bottom rectangle layer, select all-copy-deselect


Paste the selection in the target image

highlight that layer and the background layer and align to the bottom


Go back to the crop.psd and repeat the copy/paste process on the target image for each side (top-right-left)

align each with the background layer to the correct side (top-right-left)


Close  crop.psd


On the target image combine all the pasted layers into a single layer.

Ctrl+click the combined rectangle layer to make a selection, then invert the selection.

From the menu bar Image - crop.


Flatten the target image. 


Stop recording.
