the internals should be but the ratios are way off.
Just look at the mounts on the pumpkin. The LS has 4 and most others have 2 or 3 only.

$$ makes it possible and the likely probability is you'll be in a custom shop.
Knowing what Toyota is, there is likely a candidate out there. Time to start looking at axle codes and the corresponding units that go with them. I suspect the carrier shells will be of comparable sizes and mounts for a couple cars. Since us stateside folk didn't get the full Toyota line there may not be the experimentation the folks down under have done with past Toyota's.

Good luck.
