Hi.
The upper lafette, the position of the barrel step plus the bail above the gunners indicates that it is a Type 88 75 mm AA-Gun

Hi.
Sorry, took me some time to find a compareable pic of the Type Taisho 14 10 cm AA-Gun.
First time I saw japanese gunners using earmuffs....
The barrel step of the Type Taisho 14 is just in front of the upper lafette. The Type 88s is further to the muzzle.

Re: Id. japanese heavy artillery
Hello, are these Japanese AA guns or Australian 3.7 inch guns? Picture from the Dutch Military Archives showing Tarakan on Dutch Borneo after the Aussies took it. Sorry, answer right here, they are Aussie guns: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C20710

Re: Id. japanese heavy artillery
From the look of the bogie trucks, and the overhead recuperator on the guns, they're 3.7" AA guns of one mark or another.
Re: Id. japanese heavy artillery
]Hi.
Overhead recuperators were also used on the Type 3 120 mm AA-Guns and the Type 4 75 mm AA-Guns:

Link to a nice footage of a horse-drawn artillery unit with Type Meiji 38 7,5 cm Field Guns from 1924 from a NFAJ website:
