They all looked the same , just took 2 from my shop. They did the valve cover gasket. So asked them to swap spark plugs too.
I would say this is a testament to Lexus/Toyota quality......idle was fine before and after.....car just seems smoother....

Look at the the end of the plug that the coil/wire goes on... if there is a letter, symbol, or number, then they are original.

They look like original plugs. The amount of compression leak gave it away.
