That looks the same as my 1400 so I don’t think anything is missing. It does look like they buggered up the threads which they should fix or buy you another axel.

Are you sure there is no lock nut?

Thanks for your answer.
 
Is there an actual nut on there??? IMO, a must have purchase is one of the Aprilia titanium axle nuts. Stands up to impact wrenches, and won't round off the shoulders. AF1 makes it easy on their MG pages...
 
Yes - there's no locknut, just good old fashioned friction holding a big nut in place. It's recessed into the swingarm so difficult to make out in the picture but you can just see it. Not sure how the damage to the end of the axle occurred but it appears to be on the chamfering and not the thread, so no real damage except cosmetic. It would be easy to clean up with a small file and if the threads were impacted in some way, unscrewing the nut would help clean them up.

You may want to verify that the flat washer is installed under that 32mm axle nut. If you are not at ease check the torque spec. Dress the threads with a metric thread file.
 
Looks like they belted it with a drift to knock the axle out.
