Very interesting.... Do you specifically where along the rail these were taken?

Marvelous! Now the hive needs to remember how to find these photos again next time topic comes up.

Looks like a good header to me for Google search.

The consensus seems to be that the flange is a residuum (OK, a leftover?) of construction, and could theoretically be ground away without ill effect. That's extra work, but could be invoked if a new rub rail didn't fit snug, or if the flange was irregular. Just grind it down a little here and there.

The aluminum rub rail replacement alternative, although expensive, does fit over the existing flange without issue. That's what I have used, and the write-up is here .
