It's the same for RHD as LHD.
#5 as depicted, shows the 4X adjustable rod end at the gearbox, which the 55s didn't, instead use a tie rod end.
Because the 4X end assembly is longer, the 4X drag link is shorter than the 55s, making the 55 drag link exclusive to the platform.
Rest is the same, but drag link is not.
I don't know what is or isn't available through Toyota, but think the last of the inventory was the relay and tie rod assembly, which had some of the joints, but not all. I know I have two drag links that don't have ends, and two relay and tie rod assemblies that do.

@tatat - Kurt will take very good care of you, they are professionals!
Ok Cruiser Outfitters, Can you explain the difference between the 4x...8x drag link/tie rods? I just installed one of the adjustable/greaseable drag links on my FZJ105L and it appears to be from a RHD truck since the grease zirc faces forward and is susceptible to damage. Otherwise, can the RHD and LHD models be interchangeable?
Between the 4x and 8x? Everything is different, there is nothing they share?
Where did you get an adjustable DLE for a 105? Would have had to come from 6x or 7x as the 4x adjustable DLE is 17mm not the needed 21mm. Lots of pics here:
