Driveshaft Guru's help needed.

[fab]

I was stripping off the nearside stub axle to get a bearing replaced and in the process removed the driveshaft out from the gearbox also.
two things happened:
1 a lot of gearbox oil drained out :?
and 2 one ring appeared on the floor with the litres of oil that poured out.
took a closer look inside and found the top ring in the photo sitting nicely in place however it appears that the bottom ring is broken.

Can anyone confirm that the bottom ring in the picture should be one complete ring or should it be as it appears in the photo?
