The Mk. III Hythe Camera Gun was developed in 1916 at the RFC Machine Gun School. Then the training camera for machine gunners had been produced until 1934 by British camera maker Thornton Pickard. Instead of bullets it shot target checking images in the rhythm of a machine gun.

Maybe the Hythe Camera gave the model for the Japanese Katsura Seisakusho Machine Gun Training Camera.
