There does appear to be a cat but certainly no position to fix a lambda sensor in. I have checked under the carpet and found wiring for one, attached to one side in a special holder.
Running a Cat without o2 sensor being installed is a sure way to easily damage it if the max temperature of the converter is exceeded due to a continued overly lean mixture. In worst cases it may even melt down internally, and partially or totally block the exhaust flow.
