Yep, the canvas strips, passenger side only.
Steering is renown for it's heaviness. There are many linkages to grease on the steering, NB some of the rods are only greased from one end. Humber owner in Townsville has fitted electric assisted steering, but I find it OK as long as you are on the move.
Those stripper abrasions are more painful than cuts, I think it's worse when you only have yourself to blame.
Humber is mid way through a long paint job and tidy up, but it does get driven when required:
