I think I was told similar strake features on the L&M (red/white/blue striped) and McMaren (orange colored) from the early 1970's delayed turbulance caused from differing air pressures of the side and top passing air flows.
We were told these were a passing fad never to be seen again. Apparently some engineer thought they were worth revisting.
