Cleaning of John Deere 530 gas tank question

I am restoring a 530 and am cleaning the "outside" of the gas tank. I have noticed what appears to be a rubber coating on about 1/2 of the tank. Is this something that was put on at the factory? This tractor has been in my family since new and I don't think the tank was ever off the tractor. However, I am not totally sure of that.
 
Check into gas tank renew. They sandblast the inside and outside of the gas tank. A coating is applied on the inside and baked in an oven. A coating is also applied on the outside and baked in an oven. Just send them the tank. They fix it and send it back.
