Gravel Shield Material

A year ago I was looking at two ex-RAF C-130Ks at Bruntingthorpe,and noticed the forward lower skins of the pods that house the APU and landing gear had a rubberized sheet bonded on. I am looking to add it to a modification we plan on doing. Does anybody know what this material is? Google in this case has been of no help.

The material itself looks like it is some sort of rubber/silicone sheet with very small holes to allow the passage of trapped air. It was also painted in the aircraft camouflage scheme.

Thanks.
