$269 + Free Shipping..If you’re not looking for an exact specific year and just want to “keep it in the family” I don't see that this is a bad deal.
I did the same thing. Pieced together a non specific to the year kit in a reproduction old school tool roll.

How many lug wrenches do you need? I'm not well versed on tool kits, but it looks like a bunch of Toyota tools that are not specific to one particular kit, yr or model.
Its only money, do what you want. I think its a waste to invest in a grab bag mixed lot that will never be correct. If it was the factory issue kit for his unit, that would be a different story.
Maybe useful stuff like a : good jump box, air pump, cleanable air filter or oil filter, 2M HAM radio....

I did as @Chungas Revenge did; pieced one together and put in a canvas roll. Probably worked out to be about the price shown in the link but the jack was purchased separate and as I recall a bit pricey.

What year 40 does your brother have?
By the way, it appears @ClemsonCruiser might have a tool roll for sale in the classified section.

That's not much of a Land Cruiser tool kit. The jack, rods and handle are from a 1970/80s Toyota Hilux or Toyota Truck. Same for the tool pouches and tool roll. The tools are an assortment of items from various kits. The yellow handle screwdriver and 2 wrenches with the yellow clip are the only Land Cruiser tools.
If you are looking for a Land Cruiser tool kit, here are some representative period kits (not for sale). There are some variations within these (marking, color, type of tool), but they are good examples. Original, complete and in good condition, these can run into some $$.
8/1963-7/69. Large canvas tool roll, nice selection of tools.
8/69-2/74. Medium canvas (later vinyl) tool roll, fewer tools than earlier.
3/1974-84. Tool bag, still fewer tools.

Does he have the straps to hold his future tool bag in place?

For Sale - Cinti, OH Tool bag straps 73 to 75 FJ40
I made up a few more tool bag strap sets. These were used in 1973 to 1975 FJ40's, to hold the tool bag under the drivers seat. Maybe other models used them too, idk. These are similar, but not stk. Below is a link from my original ad. $48.00 Shipped...

Complete kits come up for sale from time to time, Mud classifieds, ebay etc. Post a want ad in Mud classifieds and see what kind of response you get.
Partial kits are easier to find. The later 1970s tools are fairly easy to find, except for the original 2-wrench yellow clip. The original tool bags range from pristine to super-gnarly condition. Quality repro bags are available.
Early FJ60 kits are similar to later FJ40 kits. For example, one on eBay (no affiliation) for $379 or best offer. Has the 2-piece lug wrench instead of the 1-piece. Includes the wheel cap wrench (long rod with flat end) and wheel cap replacer (black bracket) which were part of later kits. Does not include a jack handle. The jack handle was a separate item and not part of the original tool kit. Missing the plastic wrench clip (which would have been red). Tool bag is in good condition (no tears, zipper in place, etc.). The bag is dirty but these clean up nicely. City Racer sells repro red and yellow 3-wrench style plastic clips. Asking price seems high for no jack handle and no wrench clip.

Believe your dates are off. This from a 63.
This one is from a 10/69 70 model.
Got them from the same person. He owned the 63 and traded it in for the 70. Purchased the 70 from him in 2011. Tool roll was under the driver's seat in the tool box. Hammer handle is dried out more from being stored inside vehicle that was parked under a carport in a dry climate all those years. Have paper from the original sale. Address was the same in 2011.
Edit: replaced the one of the 70 tool roll. One I posted was obviously not mine. Was pictured in the back of a different vehicle. This is both the 63 and 70 tool rolls in the back of the 100 series I owned.
Downed loaded picture I posted off the mud not mine.

Tanker120 was making the “Repro” tool roll. It wasn’t correct for my 76, but then again, a lot of things weren’t correct on my 76. 
@TuckerHudson If you want to “build your own”, you can still pickup tools from the Japanese market. JIS screwdrivers, YOTA wrenches, ball-peen hammer etc etc.

Interesting thing about the tool roll. It is somewhat comforting to know that it is there under my seat. But, fortunately, I have never actually used it. For any kind of maintenance or repair, I just use normal easily accessible tools from the workshop.
I’ve used the JIS screwdrivers “a bunch”. Wrenches on occasion and I’m pretty sure I threatened the Mule during a GR starter installation with the Ball-peen hammer more than once.
