Type 94 37 mm infantry gun vs Type 1 37 mm AT-gun

Hi.

I recently found the following picture and I´m not sure if it shows a Type 94 rapid-fire infantry gun or a Type 1 AT-gun:

To me the barrel seems to be longer than on a standard Type 94 gun but it may be a matter of perspective.

Are there any other easily identifyable differences between these guns then the barrel length?

Yours

No. So, it is difficult to distinguish them on photos.
