It's nothing like Panna Cotta. It's more like a swiss meringue buttercream which has developed a slight crust or a very, very stiff American buttercream. Sometimes it can be slightly crumbly, I guess this may depend on age.

I've made these quite a few times (I am Australian). They're great! The white filling is not cream but a mix of butter, sugar, gelatine and milk. You put a layer of jam on the base, top it with the mock cream and put on the two tone icing. It can either be white and brown or pink and brown.
