There is no plate/sticker to indicate next change, there never has been.
The Toyota dealership I usually go to says that its original to the car.

If you have the owner's service manual you'll see it's a 90,000 mile service. If your belt breaks you'll have a very large paperweight because the V8 is an interference engine, meaning the valves extend into the cylinder. A belt break means the pistons will be hammering those valves. :-(
