At work when someone wants a snaffle with a peanut center, we call it a snaffle with a peanut centre!
Obviously you have french-link and Dr Bristol bits too which have a slightly different sort of middle section but they are flat bits of metal.

The name "snaffle" doesn't have anything to do with what the bit looks like, rather what type of bit it is, and how it is used. There are several different types of snaffle bits, ranging from mild to severe. For more history on Snaffle bits, check out www.wikipedia.com

I'm assuming you are talking about a french link snaffle (french links can also come with different rings) but if that doesn't sound right then you could be thinking of a three piece kimberwick or a Dr. Bristol which has a more long oval shaped link!

It's called a roller bit-(snaffle)

Is it a link or a roller? Rollers will have some movement to them, so the horse can spin it with his tongue. Links are flat and stiffer, putting pressure on the top of his tongue.
Most of the link bits are referred to as French Link or Training French Link. Most of the rollers are called just that, rollers. If they're made of a different metal, they're also identified by that metal, i.e. copper roller.

In the old days we refered to that as a dog-bone mouthpiece.

It could be a 'lozenge'.
