I think you're right. It is for remote shift gearboxes. The workshop instructions for fitting the remote shift mention "item 14, the "Sorbo" rubber jacket" over the gearbox cover. The Sorbo Rubber Company also made the self sealing linings for wartime aircraft fuel tanks, so could have had dealings with the BAC.
