I took a picture. The thin coolant pipe on the right of the shot running vertically down the back of the radiator comes from the expansion tank. It joins onto the radiator bottom hose with a t-piece but this looks nothing like the PRT shown above so I'm concluding that I have the standard wax type and will proceed on that basis unless anyone shouts out differently.

I agree, there's no PRT.

EDIT: Your photo shows the lower radiator hose assembly only fitted to the earlier, non-PRT system.
