Yea there were interstage "rings" that were jettisoned after the main engine(s) for the next stage ignited.
They contained a bunch of the electronics and carried some of the ullage motors.

Once the stage below was jettisoned, the small ullage motors would fire to provide acceleration and slosh all the fuel/oxidizer to the bottom of their tanks so the main engine(s) could ignite.

The camera film was mounted in canisters that were jettisoned and recovered from the ocean.
