Where is [EGR] vsv located on 1997 4cyl Toyota Camry?


I feel a little dumb, but I can not find the EGR VSV on my 97 4cyl Camry. I find, it seems, two VSV units - but neither seem to be EGR VSV. As I stand leaning over drivers side fender looking in to engine compartment - I quickly see and identify two similar units. Not the one in the images I see in haynes, other books, purchase catalogs.
From the image I have - I just can't get the perspective correct. Can you tell me how to clearly locate this EGR VSV?
Look from under vehicle? Left, right? Front? On MY MODEL - where do the hoses connect to? [just to help me ID the right unit.]
It just does not appear to be where the book says it is - OR the appearance of the unit is not even close to the pictures/drawings.
Help me put my finger on this VSV please.
Thanks,
jerry

One hose will go to a vacuum source and the other hose will go to the egr valve.
