Part numbers for D10/D11 pins?

This is what the correct ones look like from the side. Note how the male pin has the ribs on the opposite side and the female has them, but the pins above do not. The pins above may work, but my experience with various other Toyota pins is that even though they look mighty close, they end up not working. Either they won't insert all of the way in, or the pin lock won't snap back into place.

Oh, I see now. I thought you were talking about the housings, not the pins. Crap, now I'm back at square 1 with finding the original manufacturer. I've checked out Molex, Amp/Tyco and Sumitomo. I can't think of anyone else who might have made them aside from Denso themselves, but their website doesn't seem to have any info on just the connectors.

Maybe it's just more worthwhile to stick with the premade harnesses?

Most of the Toyota pins are custom ones by either Sumitomo or Amp. The ones that I use for my Occupant Classification Sensor Bypass Module (which allows one to still have the passenger airbag function when installing aftermarket seats) are made by Sumitomo and are custom. I had to order 20,000 pins and 500 connector shells as a minimum buy directly from Sumitomo, since no one stocks them.

So, the premade harness is your best bet.

Yow! That must be a Toyota thing--all of the connectors on the parts made where I work are commercially available, and therefore through mouser/digikey.

The good news is that I can officially stop searching for those buggers. If I need to put in longer leads I'll definitely give you a PM for some pins.
