Tailstock goes before carriage.
Kinda looks like it was being used for a non-lathe turning application, vs. being assembled by someone clueless.
That's just because that's the way they put it together (for the photo, probably). I can do the same with my South Bend -- not that there's much reason to, that I can think of. If you're lapping a very long part, it could be useful.

I agree with Ed - So many lathes were sold without tail stocks because they were in a box and forgotten...
Doing only face work or such. Then there are several other ideas.
Expect there are a number of other reasons as well.

I've seen them set up that way for shipping.

notice the $175 "optional loading fee" - that is amazing - I've never seen it higher than $20 -
