I stand corrected, Lexus parts guy called back and wanted to verify my vin. According to him the camshaft is the same, part number 13511. Not sure what could be wrong that's causing this.
Just wanted to add to this and say that I took a look and can confirm that the 1UZ and 3UZ VVT-i intake and exhaust camshafts are indeed the same.
