Hard Rubber clarinet w/metal sleeves in bore

I just started an adult student who came in three old clarinets.

The most intriguing model was what appears to be a hard rubber clarinet with metal sleeves in the upper bore of the upper joint, and lower bore (yes, where it flares) in the lower joint. Had been repadded with leather pads, which I also thought was interesting.

Must be some kind of stencil model. The markings are badly rubbed, but it looked like "Jean" something. I did some googling and visited a website on off-brand clarinets, but didn't find anything to quite meet this one's description.

Anybody ever hear of metal sleeves in a clarinet bore as either factory equipment or repair. This is the first time I've encountered it in 20 years of teaching.
