You can find all Last methods and select the one with only one parameter:

var method = typeof (Queryable).GetMethods()
                               .Where(m => m.Name == "Last")
                               .First(m => m.GetParameters().Length == 1);

Generic case is described in this question and answer.

Don't take risk code failed if Queryable receuve new methods called "Last" and taking only one parameter.

Accurate is never to much.

var queryableLastMethodInfo = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods().Single(_Method => _Method.Name == "Last" && _Method.IsGenericMethod && _Method.GetGenericArguments().Length == 1 && _Method.GetParameters().Length == 1   && _Method.GetParameters().Single().ParameterType == typeof(IQueryable<>).MakeGenericType(_Method.GetGenericArguments().Single()));

This should give you the MethodInfo of the "Last" extension method that doesn't take a predicate:

var queryableLastMethodInfo = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic)
    .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "Last" && x.GetParameters().Count() == 1);

...and this should give you the other one:

var queryableLastMethodInfo = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic)
    .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "Last" && x.GetParameters().Count() == 2);
