That looks a lot like this one:

In your first picture I think I see your packing nut as the gray thing behind the stem.
Either way, there should be something to unscrew from the front and remove in order to replace that stem body.
In order to do that, turn OFF the water and then OPEN the shower/tub water flow. What you are doing there is removing the pressure. That body is under 60psi (water pressure) so you wouldn't be able to unscrew anything without first relieving the pressure.
Then you can goto your local home improvement store and hopefully find a replacement.
