There is a cat in the header pipes as well as the original exhaust. I doubt if the aftermarket can you have on has a cat in.
With the end can off shine a torch down into the exhaust outlet from the header pipes and you should be able to see if the cat is still there.
It does look like corrugated material and some people remove it by drilling a few holes in it then just bashing the rest out with a screwdriver.
From your description of the bits it does look like part of the cat, if it is still there maybe it is breaking up or if it has been removed then whoever did it did not run the engine afterwards without an end can on to remove any loose debris.
