Oh yes, there are several different!

Go to http://www.twistypuzzles.com/
In the menu, choose "Puzzle Database" - "Search"
Use keyword search for "domino"

Then you can see a few different. Spindle and Groove are considerable 
different and you can see how they work. The one with the indented 
pips looks still different (look at the pictures on its own site by 
clicking on it). The custom made "2x3x3" is (usually) a keychain 3x3 
hidden inside cubies from a normal 3x3.

No idea about the Marvel/Lettered/Blindman. And if you don't care 
about weight/size you can turn a 4x4 cube into a domino easily.

I think yours is probably that standard spindle or groove version. Can 
you try to look between the pieces inside the puzzle? Do you see split 
spindle pieces?

If it's a split spindle (i.e. like the one you've seen from me) then 
I'd say popping an edge is not the best idea, but if the center cap is 
really stuck it's probably your best bet. You could try to pull down 
the spindle with e.g. a screwdriver while you pull the edge up. You'd 
need to get the edge piece over that half-circle at the end of the 
spindle arm. Never tried that, though. And it depends on how loose 
your puzzle is I'd say.

Cheers!
