I believe that they were both added to VTK at the same time.

On UNIX, vtkTypeInt64Array is a sublcass of vtkLongLongArray.
On Win32, vtkTypeInt64Array is (was?) a subclass of vtk__Int64Array.

Of course, this was due to the fact that "long long" was not a valid type
on many of the compilers that VTK supported, hence 64-bit arrays were
handled with __int64 or a 64-bit long wherever "long long" was unavailable.
