here is a postcard image of Japanese field artillery practicing in China. Japanese officier is observing with binoculars; good image of canteen, small case (for maps?) and uniform, although not in color. The specific type of gun is unidentified. Any help?

Good postcard image of Japanese machine gun exercises. Japanese troops wear full pack, seem to have sword as side-arm. Ammo boxes lay in front of unidentified machine guns on tri-pods.
