Yep. Lewis .303. With the mounting, I think its for a rear gunner in a plane. Or maybe like an SE5a or something.

They were still mounting Lewis guns on planes, even in WW2 (ex. the Blenheim series). A rather enduring design (the Lewis gun, not the Blenheim...

)

Yes.
"Derived from the British Lewis machine-gun, this flexible weapon used flat drum magazines with a capacity of either 47 or 97 rounds. ..." source: Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War by Ren� J Francillon
It was for example mounted in the Vals und Kates.
