Tracking down all these little part numbers is insanely time-consuming, even with Mud as a reference. Has anyone, to anyone's knowledge here, ever liberated a copy of the illustrated P/N database for the 80 series? I kid you not, Toyota's black-box policy must have wasted a million man-hours minimum, with owners trying to look up sh*t that's been out of patent for decades...

Your best bet is getting the Toyota EPC (Electronics Part Catalog) software. It looks like something straight out of 1996, but a proper source will give you it fully loaded up with all parts for all Toyota commercial vehicles in all regions, with the ability to search by VIN, cross check parts shared between models, etc. It looks something like this:
A Google search for "Toyota EPC" will give you leads on dozens of sites of dubious trustworthiness to start looking. I used to host a copy on my mega account, but that got nuked for copyright violations, could have been that or something else on it, hard to say. At any rate, "It's Out There"...
EDIT - I should add, go for whatever the latest version is that you can find. 2023/2024 is fine, it contains all the part numbers for the 80 series, they're not removed just because they're out of production.

Of course, you could always go completely the other end of the spectrum and buy the parts catalog microfiche for the 80 series on ebay. That's a thing too. The EPC contains all that and more though - that's where the illustrations come from!

I just use the diagrams provided by PartSouq.com. For example, when I ordered from Impex recently, I used PartSouq to identify all the necessary parts.
FYI, PartSouq (and US Dealers) might say a particular part is NLA, but Impex might still have it (or will special order it). I will usually order from PartSouq before Impex, but not if the part is NLA at PartSouq.

I like to use Toyodiy for part diagrams.
Partsouq and others have the same diagrams, but I find Toyodiy easier to navigate, and can cross reference part numbers.
Then use the part number in partsouq.com for images and pricing.
I know Toyodiy is/was? locked down in USA, but there's ways around this so you can view diagrams.

Sites like that are great for simple ordering of matching parts, but they're much less useful for parts research. Sometimes things in the EPC aren't clear, or your model has had some upgrades, IE, you've swapped out various bits from other models. That's where the EPC is irreplaceable. I can put in my VIN and get all the same info as you get from partsouq or the like, but I can also turn off spec match, and see all variants of that part that were offered across all models and years of the same vehicle, across all trim models. That is absolutely invaluable when you're trying to figure out how to make something work when your rig isn't stock, or a part is NLA or unavailable. Maybe that trim part you want is NLA in black, but it's available in grey-blue? It's also the only way to really understand the subtle differences in each model over time. And again, searching parts applicability across models has saved my butt several times. If you're hunting an NLA part, but you happen to know it's the same part not just in your rig, but also a 90s corolla, you'll have a much easier time finding it.
Partsouq as you said is great for pricing and sanity checking with pictures. I also find amayama useful, as they explicitly state when they know parts are NLA/out of production, which most other places don't. I start with the EPC personally though, then go on to another site, unless I'm ordering something brain-dead like an oil filter.

Sounds like I should find a working EPC
Toyodiy/Partsouq used together gives at least part of that functionality.
You can search Toyidiy by part number to see all vehicles a part was used in.
Partsouq will sometimes show substitute parts,
The two combined has enabled me to find alternate parts or fasteners a few times

Do you mean like this? This site has never failed me to find vehicle part numbers. 1992 - 1998 Toyota LAND CRUISER FZJ80 OEM Parts | U.S.A. sales region, , 917290 - https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/land-cruiser-38286/fzj80-55818/fzj80l-gnpeka-917290
