Sure!! One in the left is an East bound class 115 EMU heading for Atami whilst one in the right is a West bound class 113 heading for Hamamatsu. Although both are basically the same but some detail parts are very different including painting design. Class 115 has been winterized version 115-1000s. Hope this helps.
