Default Is this a loading coil?

Hi, I was looking up antennas on google, and found a radio shop's
antenna page. These antennas have some kind of coil welded onto them.
Are these what you would call loading coils? And by the picture I
can't tell if the coil is at the bottom, middle or top of the antenna.
Any guesses?

Presumably, the plastic looking things in the center
are insulators which makes the coils = loading coils.
But with CB antennas, one needs to be careful about
presumptions as some are designed for looks only.
