Where can I buy this roofing material ?

Can anyone identify this roofing material and where its available ?
Seems to be a very thin cement type layer, in planks' about 20 cm wide with the top side having a vague woodgrain surface texture
Edit : about 3mm thick
I've not seen anything like it around, it looks and feels pretty fragile stuff
So might be better just to take it all off and go over with roofing felt ?
TIA

Looks like cement board with a thick layer of bitumastic paint slapped on.
