That part of the needle bearing is called the 'cage,' it supports the bearing rollers and holds them the same distance apart from each other. The tapered roller bearings in there have a similar layout with a plastic cage to support the rollers.
I took a box apart a few months ago where the pinion bearings were so worn out that it chewed up the cage and spit it out around the inside of the box, it could be that's the long thin pieces you're finding too.
You won't really know without taking it apart at this point, might be more economical to start planning to swap the whole thing out.
