Any and all side trim items are aftermarket, not Jaguar OEM parts. They are visually disruptive in that, if applied, they are the first thing to catch the eye - the Series I-III cars are designed to have an unbroken “eye-sweep” from front to rear.
The side strips were often dealer-installed at the request of owners but they were NEVER original factory-fitted items.
Most of these strips are attached simply by an adhesive backing, and are quite easily removed with heat and gentle persuasion. Some strips were fitted using rivets.

I replaced mine a couple of years ago with new ones purchased from "Custom Auto Trim" here in the US.
Go to their website and type CHAN75 molding. You will see the actual aluminum trim, the vinyl inserts and the finishers you are looking for.
Their customer service dept reps are very good and once you tell them year, make and model, they will know exactly what you are looking for.

On the bright side there is a stopgap choice. There are many style of molding available in a slew of colors. Most of them self-adhesive and more attractive (less unattractive?) than the riveted-on-aluminum-extrusion type. A fellow could remove what's there and apply new molding over the holes.

My car came to me with these bumpers and I rather like them (along with the much-hated Mercan bumper extensions). I wouldn't remove them even if they weren't riveted in place.
