MY door panels have the same markings.
When looking more closer they appear to have had some water damage on the
hard part leaving this in a "not straight shape anymore" status.
This has lead to these kind of markings of the winder handle.
I may try to have the panels reconstructed with new hard and straight
material using the original cover.
Cheers,
Hans

You rang?
Upholstery is being pre-built and purchased for the big sale in
March.
The 63-67 MGB window winder mechanism has a backing chrome
escutchcheon that is angled and has teeth to bite into the door panel.
Between the escutcheon and the winder is a fiber washer, to allow easy
rotation of the winder handle. This escutcheon is often missing, as it
won't fit with thicker than original panels.
Kelvin.
