Huh? That rim definitely needs tape otherwise sealant will just leak out through the nipple holes. The orange film that's left I think is basically some sort of Kapton tape that DT sticks a cosmetic layer over the top of.
@MisterTomTom If it's still holding, I wouldn't bother changing it but it is strange.

No, this is not normal. Doesnt look like your rim actually needs rim tape however, unless it’s on to help get the tyre to seat initially.
