The torn-up photo would be Removed from the Picture. The reuniting the pieces together is Two Halves Make a Plot. The image of the latter sounds almost exactly like what you're describing.
Alice Jr. has a teared up photo, she can see that her mother Alice is kissing someone, who is in the lost part of the photo. Bob jr. has a similar photo piece with his father Bob. Then, they took both pieces, put them toguether, and realize that they are parts of the same photo. The mistery kissing couple is Alice and Bob!
Is it Dismantled MacGuffin? (it is dismantled and needs to be put toguether, but lacks the whole "evil artifact broken in pieces for the sake of humanity" thing)"
