There is an ID number on the engine block but it does not match the VIN.

Really? my 99 4runner have a VIN plate on the original block and it's riveted also my 93 truck.
Are you talking about the block #? My next door neighbor have Sequioa I will ask if I could look in there.

It's on a riveted plate on the rh(passenger) of the engine, right below the valve cover.

^^^ Correct, indeed! I mistook it for the serial number in front of/below the intake manifold.
Interesting. I noticed this on my truck when working on it but then thought "why would they put a vin # on the head which could be replaced" ?

It's shown above in a picture.

DS lower windshield. (on dash viewed from outside))
PS head center below valve cover. (Pictured above)
PS frame just behind front tire.
PS Transmission back half way.
Most all fenders and doors.

Yeah that picture doesnt really show the general area but your description helps. It has to be an embossed or engraved plate for a pencil rubbing. The one on the dash is not accessible im told because of the windshield. The one on the frame is covered up by the arb bumper. Hopefully he can find the one on the head. Thanks!
you have to take off the intake on the passenger side so you can see the passenger side valve cover, its on the head, not the block, right in the middle directly below the valve cover, may be covered with crusty burnt oil if the valve cover is leaking.
Actually you can see the VIN that is on the head, without removing the airbox. I don't happen to have a picture with air box on. But just stand on PS with a flashlight and you'll see unless covered with gunk.
I've not had and ARB bumper. But don't see how it would block frame VIN.
