That is not original.
If it is not metal then I would suspect some type of plastic, nylon or fiberglass material.

Homemade plywood I beams with red fiberglass angle attached to mahogany cross member secured to plywood bulkhead with wood tang t-nuts.
Oops, I just re- "red" question (pun intended)...just the red, as mentioned by Tony and Bob, it's red fiberglass.

Looks like GP03 structural pultrusion. I have used this material in various shapes in several locations on my B25. McMaster-Carr:

I've used the McMaster Carr stuff quite a few times. It's great in the right application
