Default SC300/400 and MKIV Supra A/C condensers physically the same?

I'm sorting out my A/C system and may need to replace my A/C condenser. Though it might seem obvious because the part numbers are clearly different, can anyone confirm from experience if the Supra MKIV A/C condenser is physically the same as the SC300/400 A/C condenser?

Just wondering.

For reference, here are the part numbers for both:

88460-24070 sc300/400 A/C condenser
88460-14290 Supra MKIV A/C condenser

Well you answered my question. I was going to tell you that 300/400 were the same. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

That's okay! It's at least one less thing to figure out

I'm still in shock at the cost of the SC condenser even if you can find it discounted from list. Same for the SC heater control valve. Unbelievable.

Would you consider a new/used one? There might be one here locally at the LKQ junk yard...

Thanks, but I'd only consider a used one of either if I knew for sure they were tested or in observable in working order. If I'm replacing I don't want a surprise down the road with A/C. I've got an LKQ branch in town as well. Might try that. So far I'm into a remanufactured Aisin compressor which he confirmed wasn't in good shape and I knew this for a while (records indicate it's 110k in age). I'm going to deal with the other two parts next week when my mechanic checks for dye on my A/C lines.

^^ Please could you tell me where I can find an aftermarket condenser for these cars? I wasn't aware we had the option for a bolt-in replacement.

Edit: Is the factory part made by Denso?

Found a source, thanks. The Denso direct fit part is sold outside the Toyota system. Will see if I'm right.
