Wow, you've been playing with this for a while!
I haven't read all of the posts involving potential solutions so forgive me if I miss the mark by a mile. If your latest photos reflect your present speaker set up, and I have read your comments correctly, your speakers are seven feet apart and your listening chair is only 4 ft back. I would think that first reflection points on the side walls are not an issue and neither diffusion nor deadening wall treatments would help you much, if at all.
You didn't ask, but when I look at your photos, what stikes me initially as being a potential problem which will screw up imaging is listening to the speakers from 4ft away. Something closer to an equallateral triangle would be much better. Move your chair back to 7 ft or move the speakers closer together. Personally I'd try to get the listening position further back if you can. Perhaps a combo of both. In theory at least, you would get a better centerfill and solidify pin point imaging (which is what is necessary for great depth of image). In theory!
Good luck.
FWIW.
