I think a broken Ignition Lock Cylinder is more like the culprit as the end part has broken into three pieces, it is that part that pushes on a metal rod which runs down the steering column down to the actual ignition switch, it's how they did back in the day, when Mechanical Solutions ruled the world

In your photo you are missing the outer case to that cylinder. It is still in the column I am assuming.
