Canvas trim or rubber profile?

I always presumed the seal was rubber, fitted with nails(?). My C8 came with the remains of a rubber profile (picture attached) and I think I have seen rubber on two other Cab11's as well. Were both used? Or is either the rubber, or the canvas a post-war replacement(?)

Some oldtimer parts suppliers here in Holland sell the canvas strip, however the choice of width and colour is limited. Jacek, have you tried a firm repairing shoes or making rucksacks?...they might be able to get you the canvas.
