That aircraft may be a "Quick-Change" version, where the seats are mounted on pallets and removed after a passenger service. The aircraft is then free to carry mail/parcels both in the cargo hold and in the PAX cabin. A profitable line of work for the airline, allowing maximum daily use of the aircraft.

And although it might look like a PAX aircraft, it might actually be a freighter:
