There is a flathead screw that goes thru the part you marked with an arrow towards the front, and it looks like both pieces have friction pads on them. But the front piece cant rotate (at least I don't think so), so it must be a brake?
Not sure where the thrust button is supposed to be unless it is the shiny mangled piece in the middle?

Ok, the thrust button is actually there, and figured out how it works, but something is wrong with the thrust button other than the end is somewhat mangled by the loose screw.
According to the parts diagram, there is supposed to be a wave washer and circlip holding the brake disc plate on to the thrust button, and they are not there, nor is there any room for them to be installed? I can't imagine that much of the button has been sheared off, but maybe?
