The clip sits in the cv and is expanded to allow penetration....If it came out, surely it must go in ? Are you absoloutely sure there is no clip that sits in that groove, that has somehow come off and stuck inside ? Not familiar with SAABs, but they do have some "different" ideas.
I would give the hole a fingering.
Other than that, the splines look OK to me.
Original cv was broken by the clip during removal as i had you use a joint puller and ugga dugga to get it to move even a midge's spherical merkin
