From the low sit, and the gunshield, I'd say it is a Putilov mod 02 gun, the Russian army's standard gun of WW1.

Thank you very much! So it is famous "polkovushka" of 1902, later used by Soviets modified into 1902/30...
I have a problem trying to identify German guns in Lithuanian army, LeFH98/09, 7,7FK KIH, 7,7 FK16, LeFH16... Different lenght of barrel is helpfull, but how to separate FK16 from LeFH16 in the pictures? Are there any characteristic signs?

These two guns, and the earlier leFH m98/09, shared the same carriage. So it is mainly the barrels you need to examine. The experts may add more details.

You can find a lot of photos of both guns, and many more, on these two pages. If you detect any further differences (visible enough for a 1/72 model wink), I'd be interested to learn them.
