No.
It looks like someone has fitted a fuel angel type devise, ostensibly to prevent miss fueling but also an anti syphon devise. Had one fitted to the works sprinter when it was new, right pain in the bum as when the tank got near full fuel spewed back all over my trousers, after 3 such episodes an original cap was obtained from e bay and the fuel angel removed. It was only a bayonet fitting into the filler neck and a smaller cap into the devise, on the Volvo one would assume it is screwed in as the filler cap is a screw fitting.
If you are unhappy with it have a go at unscrewing it, if it comes out fine source an original cap from dealer or breakers, if it does not come out source a replacement pipe and cap from a breakers.

I was just gunna say it looks like one of those anti idiot diesel filler thingys that you can't put a petrol filler in. As if you'd forget a D5 wasn't a diesel haha
