I’m not sure anyone can tell from that pic if those are spacers/washers that should go in between the locknuts. The only way to know is if the OLD (over locknut dimension) is less than the dropout width by the sum of the spacers.

That said, it is not an easy removal, especially an odd number and keep the rim centered on the bike. You can’t just remove hub spacers, usually on the NDS. If you do, and not re-dish the wheel, the rim will be off-center. Way too much work for a shop to do, unless there was a good reason that I can’t think of.
