The spacer in the bearing that keeps the rollers separated. If it is one piece it gets called a cage, but some bearings use individual spacers between the balls or rollers as it allows a better fluid film to form and presents a larger area to decrease the contact pressure.

The spacer on the axle, sure, it all looks in place.
