And a close-up of the cap showing it's just a sealing cap with no relief spring.
The third pic shows the cap that is on the coolant tank which is a normal radiator cap. I think the idea of the system must be to increase the circulating capacity of the cooling system by 2-3 quarts. It's obviously not just an overflow system. I think this is the same type system on GT-R and the technology may have trickled down from that system.

Looks like to me someone swapped the two caps in their original positions.
