Some Japanese guards are seen with what appears to be Howa Type 64 battle rifles, possibly as a replacement for the Arisaka rifles in IJA service. In the world of The Man in The High Castle, it may be under the name Type 37 or Type 39, referring to the year of Emperor Hirohito's reign; a convention that was replaced by the year a weapon entered service in the western calender after Japan lost WWII. It may be chambered in 7.7x58mm Arisaka instead of 7.62x51mm NATO. It's possible that these are airsoft replicas made by S&T as the current Japan Self-Defense Force rarely allows their rifles to be exported or borrowed for filming purposes.
