Jeff, two possibilities
This could be Vapor, or 2-pipe Air-vent.
Do the radiators have vents on them? Are there shutoffs on both sides of the radiators?
Take some pics of a couple typical radiators, and the boiler and associated piping including any hardware mounted in the piping around the boiler, and post them here. This will help us identify your system.
