Are they galvanised cappings on the tub?
It's a matter of personal preference I suppose, but I would go with standard sills and avoid chequer plate.

It's "Galvanising paint"... apparently

You can get zinc rich paint. Not the same as hot dipped galvanised though.

thats probably what it is.
It's not my taste, so I'll be cutting it back and painting it over.

Check it carefully and if there is no sign of corrosion under it or coming through, then it's doing it's job. Leave it and paint over it.

My td5 90 is the same as the OP picture. Mine are missing as it's got sliders there instead

But I suspect your supports behind the sliders are not home-made like mine are
