WWII era fighters ejected spent casings upon firing, usually through ports in the underside of the wings. BMG .50 was pretty much the standard gun on fighters that would have seen any action over Japan.

Aparently no Japanese fighters used that round. Looks like some did use .50 cal, but not the same case.
