Is this steering rack new or remanufactured?

Remember the Alamo!
I just received an order from Olathe Toyota that included my rack, part number 44250-60050 at $545.54. The box has the correct part number on the sticker (no stickers on the part), but cast into the part in a couple of places is the number 60020. Their does seem to be a 44250-60020 rack, but I can't find the specific application or if it is a superseded number. The box does say Toyota Genuine Parts and Lexus Genuine Parts, which seems strange from a Toyota dealership. Especially when I was specifically told they wouldn't warranty parts they sold if they were used on a Lexus.

Thanks
 
Remanufactured parts have a "-86" appended to the tail of the part number, not a different one.

The 44250-60020 part number appears to be used on the older Prados:
Front steering gear & link for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ95L - Genuine parts

I wouldn't be surprised if they just shared the main casting and there were minor differences on the other components. If they appear identical when the old one is out, I'd have no reservations using it.
