I don't know what markets received these packages (the US didn't), but I am sure there are a few of you who would like this....while many would consider it a waste.

It was the 2000 LC100 that had this special 50th Anniversary badging in other parts of the world. Garth, as you probably know, your 97 40th anniversary badge is exclusive to the US as it marks 40 years in the US.

Makes sense. Too many anniversaries...so, this would be for those with a 2000...too bad I can't change my title!!

Wasn't the 2001 the 50th Anniversary edition, and made for Japan's market only?

Production of the first generation Land Cruiser began in 1951 (90 units) as Toyota's version of a Jeep-like vehicle
Toyota Land Cruiser - Wikipedia

• 1951 – The Toyota "Jeep" BJ prototype was developed in January 1951. This came from the demand for military-type utility vehicles, much like the British Land Rover Series 1 that appeared in 1948. The Jeep BJ was larger than the original U.S. Jeep and more powerful thanks to its Type B 3.4 L six-cylinder OHV Gasoline engine which generated 63 kW (86 PS; 84 hp) at 3600 rpm and 215 N·m (159 lb·ft) torque at 1600 rpm. It had a part-time four-wheel drive system like the Jeep. Unlike the Jeep, however, the Jeep BJ had no low-range transfer case.

• 1951 – In July 1951, Toyota's test driver Ichiro Taira drove the next generation of the Jeep BJ prototype up to the sixth stage of Mount Fuji, the first vehicle to climb that high. The test was overseen by the National Police Agency (NPA). Impressed by this feat, the NPA quickly placed an order for 289 of these offroad vehicles, making the Jeep BJ their official patrol car.[8]

• 1953 – Regular production of the "Toyota Jeep BJ" began at Toyota Honsya Plant (Rolling chassis assembly), and body assembly and painting was done at Arakawa Bankin Kogyo KK, later known as ARACO (now an affiliate of Toyota Auto Body Co.).[8] The "Toyota Jeep BJ" Series was introduced alongside the following:
  • BJ-T (Touring),
  • BJ-R (Radio),
  • BJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine).

• 1954 — The name "Land Cruiser" was created by the technical director Hanji Umehara. "In England we had another competitor — Land Rover. I had to come up with a name for our car that would not sound less dignified than those of our competitors. That is why I decided to call it 'Land Cruiser'," he recalls.[8] The name had already been used on the US Studebaker Land Cruiser car from 1934 to 1954.

• 1954 – The 93 kW (126 PS; 125 hp), 3.9 L Type F gasoline engine added for the fire-engine chassis. Models are renamed as:
  • BJ-T (Touring),
  • BJ-R (Radio),
  • BJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine),
  • FJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine).

Yes, I'd say you are correct. It was in 2000 when Toyota celebrated the 50th Anniversary with their 2001 Model Year Land Cruiser. It was sold in various markets around the world.
