It is a 1979 FJ45….problem being, I am unsure who had made any mods along its 44 year journey through tmie. It looks unchanged no real modifications anywhere that I have seen beyond a few bed repairs in the backWhat year 40, mainly year of the front axle and or still stock? Not a one size fits all part.

to clear it up…my ‘74 had Warn hubs the dealer installed the day I drove it home. That was 49 years ago. This ‘79 comes from the Middle East , has drum brakes and I am getting into good running condition before tear down and I would like to put manual locking hubs on it now. I can do the Aisin but I liked the Warn hubs.
since this is an old man’s final fantasy, I would enjoy getting a shiny set of Warn hubs on it …as for the birfield shafts, my best guess without pulling the hubs yet, it that they are short
I have tried to look up as much as I could…but, once I get lost….I come to ask questions right here AND have never been steered in the wrong direction….but you advice is well received. I will pull these apart and check as best I can….there’s always return shippingPremium Locking Hub - 30 Spline - 28771

I believe they should fit, but I'd take it with a grain of salt and do your own research.
Thanks @Shark56. confidence is high so I just placed an order… I hate returns but they are accepted if they don’t fit….funny thing they are twice the cost of the Aisin hubs but my my other Toyota I sold had Aisin hubs and they were a bit stiff for my old arthritic hands to spin. These Warn hubs always just twisted very easily.I can confirm these Warn Hubs from above fit on my 1/79 Disk Axle.

No idea if the Drum Axle would be different but Warn's website doesn't specify Disk or Drum.

I can't remember exactly, been 7 years or so since I was doing it, but I believe the longer Birf uses those shoulder washers you see in the picture of the Warn parts bag. That is what allowed the year range difference for the long Birf in 76-78.I find the 76-87 for the Land Cruiser interesting since the 76-78 Toyota used a longer Birfield. That at a minimum would require a spacer on the early 30 spline Birfield if that's possible. I also didn't realize the FJ62 required a different locking hub than the FJ60. Little research I see the same Birfield working from 1/79-3/92. This is on the 40 series and 60 series including the FJ62. FJ62 started 11/84 in most markets with a 3F carbureted engine. Didn't bother with 70 which probably used the same Birfield even longer.
