If these servers are available for surfing to the public, and the
addresses you gave are real, there *MUST* be some NAT in there
somewhere, as the addresses are private ones, and the general public
can't route to them.

Yes, although it's unclear in my mind whether that would be a FALSE
positive or a TRUE positive.

Nobody said the gateway is a computer. It might be a Cisco router,
or a DSL modem/router.
