The yellow tint is the giveaway. It's the natural color of nylon. Delrin's white when not colored.

Teflon is typically used for bushing applications like this. It's the perfect application. Although Delrin would also be a good material here as you correctly state that it's wear restance is higher, it's friction coefficient is about 2.5 times that of teflon.
