I thought the AK-74 used a smaller cartridge, the 5.45x39mm, in which case if the photo is authentic, it was fired only by the AK-74 automatic rifle.

Incorrect. Semi auto AKs chambered for that round can be found all day long damn near anywhere in this country.

It does but an AR with a 5.45 upper can too. But that brass in the pic is 5.56mm. The neck is longer and the base is tapered down. Also it is brass rather than steel which most 5.45x39 uses.
