Parking brake cable interchange?

[FJ40Jim]

I need a park brake cable for an '87-ish FJ60. Toyota, SOR and parts store shows 2 different part numbers for 81-85 and 85-90. Local NAPA can get the 81-85 cable overnight, but the 85-later number is dead.
Does anybody know if there is a real difference between the 2 cable assemblies? I am not aware of any significant change that would make one or the other not work in any FJ60. The handles are the same, axle & brakes are same...

TIA for any help.

Don't know if they are significantly different, but there is a year cut off for both cables for some reason. Last year I bought a new e-brake cable from Toyota for my 5/86. Fit perfectly. Both are/were still available (way back then).

It's been a while, but I seem to recall the only difference (I have a 5/85) was the bracket used to mount to the rear axle housing ... Sorry, can't remember exactly if there were other differences, and I don't have the truck close to check. I kinda recall an "L" bracket vs a "Y" bracket.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this is the one that pops up on google when you search this part number.
The listed year interchange appears to be wrong. I ordered a 46410-60100 for my 100k mile Oct/83 FJ60. Noticed that my axle housing was for the later style cable 46410-60101.

Weird, thought maybe my axle and cable were swapped? Went and checked my other 60, also Oct/83. Same thing.
Then I looked at a bunch of '84 model 60s on BAT, all had the later style cable bracket and axle housing,
The only one I could find with the early style was this '82 ('81 build date) on BAT. No Reserve: 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1982-toyota-land-cruiser-fj60-28/

Compare to later style cable with L bracket and bolt pattern perpendicular to cable (old style has bolt pattern parallel to cable).

Other 84s on BAT that also show late cable:

So I feel like I have enough evidence to declare the part interchange is wrong or is not fully correct.
But I'm one guy against a massive corporation so maybe I'll just say this: if you have an -85 60 series, check your axle housing first before ordering the cable.

Early cable (bolt pattern parallel to cable)

Late cable (bolt pattern perpendicular to cable)
