Strange DHW set up

in Oil Heating
Hello everyone,
I am looking at renting a property and was sent a pic of the boiler. I have not seen it in person yet. It's a Weil-Mclain WGO-4 with the Carlin E-Z fire. The system is a monoflow system with an extra baseboard zone. The DHW seems to be a tankless coil - which makes sense for the era of home - but in that case the large white tank on the right is confusing. Any ideas? Hopefully this system won't be a debacle.

they are probably heating the storage tank with the tankless coil. I would imagine it may save some energy because the boiler isn't remaining at temp for the whole year if using just the coil.
is there a pump attatched to it?0 -
