2001 RAV4 ECU Update for Catalytic Converter Codes P0420 & P0430

I have a 2001 RAV4 manual 5 speed AWD and my check engine light came on for codes P0420 and P0430 indicating the catalytic converters are below efficiency. I found TSB 2001-2002 Toyota RAV 4 Catalytic Converter which is a firmware update and is supposed to correct this problem.
Is there some way to tell if my ECU was updated without going to the dealer?
Could there possible be a sticker somewhere on the vehicle or the ECU to tell if this firmware update has already been done?
Do I have to go to the dealer for this firmware update?
I'm afraid if I go to the dealer they will just tell me to replace the catalytic converters and i don't have the money.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
