It would not be uncommon to have used a satin varnish on it. When new it looks like a hand rubbed finish. Before getting too far into anything I would consider get an expert to come and really look at it. You need to find out what it really is first and what was the finish. Some of this could be just natural patina and the rest could be something else. It's more a matter of not wanting to make things worse. It's not just dirt you can clean off so I would avoid any harsh treatments untill you have a full plan.
FWIW, sliders are sort of a tacky solution for boats of a lessor caliber than a Defever. I would consider gretting in touch with some Defever owners groups and see about how they deal with these issues. We don't have a lot of Defever members here but I have seen a few of them and these are boats that should have special care given. Some of them are exceptionally nice boats from the era of big boats built to take a beating and come back for more.
