don't think so that's usually on the engine where the top hose goes

There's no thermostat in the radiator. There's a hole for a temperature sender but that's a different matter.....

the radiatro will have at least 3 holes:
one each for water in and out and one for the fan switch. it will not have a thrermostat fitted.
