The 2x bimetal 500 lire coins in that picture have the "Repubblica
Italiana" at different distances from the center. My question is...
is one an error coin?

Looks to me like normal variance in die preparation, quite possibly the
result of different hubs having been used.

If somehow the center piece of the 500L coin on the left is
"loose" (the center didn't lock into position upon striking) maybe you
have something. Otherwise, probably not.
