Is this a reverse return system?

in Gas Heating
hi everyone!
Trying to understand how my building was designed and piped.
1937 4 plex
Hydronic heat with gas fired Weil boiler that replaced an oil fired model.
Recessed Fin tube
I traced down the supply and return best I could for the first floor from the basement.
Seems like each heat exchanger has a supply and return.
I noticed possible the last supply “dead ends” near the boiler.
Is this a sign of a reverse return system?

It's hard to tell without a drawing or seeing it in person, but basically the first Radiator off the supply is the last to return to the boiler. Mad Dog 🐕
