Easy.
1JZ R154 Flywheel
Three dowel pins are in the middle of two holes for the pressure plate bolts.
1JZ W58 Flywheel
The three holes for the dowel pin are closer to the bolt hole for the pressure plate.
R154
W58

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I was always under the impression that flywheels were engine specific, not transmission specific. Meaning that a 1jz flywheel would fit whatever transmission you bolted it to, provided you had the right clutch setup, the clutch setup being transmission specific. If I'm wrong, please straighten my thoughts out here...
W58 uses a push clutch, R154 uses a pull. Different bolt and dowel configuration by the looks of the flywheel. Never used a W58 and won't. Doesn't make sense to me.
