Yes, all the hubs I have looked at have got these plastic rings, as shown in Brian's very clear photo.
Still don't know what they are for. A very gentle pull will separate them, so I assume they are meant to gently clip the two races together until the bearing is pulled tight (perhaps in transit or storage).

Yes, that is their purpose along with the role of preventing the two halves separating upon removal when the bearing is poorly fitted/corroded to the stub axle, but you will be able to refit the damaged part if you're careful.
