I think I see the ends of the down tube and chainstay inside the shell, so if there's a sleeve, wouldn't those tube ends be covered up by the sleeve?
the tubes pass through the sleeve, which means there's no way to remove it (so it wouldn't possibly be part of the cup).
Regardless of whether or not the cups would have been removed, the bolts for the adapter are not going to clear the sleeve.
