Default D5244T15 Coolant Identification

Greetings all,

Just picked up a (new to me) 63' MY14 V70 D5 215 Geartronic with approx 80k on the clock.
Getting to know the car/engine and finding a few questions as I dig around under the bonnet.

Freaked out a bit when I thought I saw oil in the coolant tank: turns outs its just some black plastic baffles inside

However I'm a bit confused about the type of coolant that has been used in the car. Looks yellow/orange (some kind of HOAT?)... its not particularly bright in colour but pretty clear (no obvious cloudiness, sludge, particles, etc).

I thought most most ran green or blue OAT coolant from the factory?

Full dealer service history but no record of any coolant changes.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks
