I find that I have a mix of engine cover clip styles. These are the ones that you need to remove in order to gain access to the battery, etc. My 2015 LX570 has 7 clips holding the left cover & 7 holding the right. They are (mostly) the type where you push in the center button & the clip releases. The clip then lifts out easily. You then have to push the center part back up in order to reinstall each clip.
I'd like to replace the few odd styles that are holding those silver plastic engine covers in place.
Does anyone know the Lexus / Toyota part number? Where is a good place to buy them?

Ebay or amazon...search for something along the lines of "Toyota engine cover clips" or similar. I found the clips you need on eBay, around $15 for a bag of 100 and a week and a half direct from China.

I searched thru numerous ads (many on Amazon & eBay). The Amazon ones have lots of reviews, & from the reviews it seems that the clips they offer look like the ones I have, but don't release the same at all (need to pry them out with a screwdriver).
I like the way that, on my LX, I push the center of the pin down & the clip releases & lifts out easily (no tools). The Amazon ones don't seem to have that feature.
So, I ordered a pack of 10 Genuine Toyota clips & they are identical to the ones in my car.
Here it is:
For the 2015 LX570: Toyota Part # 90467-07211
I don't know if other year LX's came with something different. BTW, these were about $1.00 each on eBay, sold by a US Lexus dealer.
