With respect, whilst your calculations are correct IF the 12 volt starter was 4.5kw however they are not.
The 12 volt unit for standard 80 is IIRC 2.5Kw i.e. 208.3 A
I use the 12 volt unit from the 100 series and this is 3.0Kw so 250 A
Note that Toyota reverted to the norm of 12 volt starting with the 100 using the same engine configuration as the 80, soooo........(Dave throws some more fuel on the fire )

If this is true then that is probably the main reason why the engine cranks over quicker and starts almost instantaneously on 24V. A starter of almost twice the power rating must make a big difference. JMO
