Default engine emission code sticker


I have a 1996 ES300 that failed smog test due to bad catalytic converters. The hood was replaced some years back with one from a 1992 ES. The emission code sticker is located under the hood and not valid for my '96. Tried getting new sticker from a local dealer as well as from the internet, however the part number is discontinued. What I need is just a jpg photo of a emission code sticker from a 1996 ES300 (California certified) so I can take vehicle to muffler shop so they can install the correct catalytic converter. I would appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. I've added a photo of the current sticker.

Is the muffler shop looking for a specified Emission model number?

Yes, I believe it is the 3VZ-FE equivalent that is on the 1992 sticker. I also noticed that the Lexus p/n for the sticker (11298-20090) is also applicable to the 1994 ES300. The only other option I have is to drive to a wrecking yard and pop the hood on a '94 or '96 ES300,
thanks for your inquiry
