I had found that, too, but the source I used was one of the Toyota bZ4X service manuals on techinfo.toyota.com
I don't have a current subscription and I failed to save the document.
It is true for the bZ4X that position 5 indirectly specifies how many wheels are driven by how many and which motors are configured:
5 Motor(s)
I suspect that the RZ 450e will have something like a "C" in 5 (for Front 1XM, Rear 1YM) engine configuration, as might the rumoured GR bZ4X.
But position 8 is an "A" for bZ4X and Solterra to indicate an EA10 bZ4X. That will likely have something like a "C" for the RZ. But with other vehicles coming out, they might consume some of the letter values (same for motor configuration at #5).
Here's the Solterra service manual cheat codes for the US and Canadian models:

And here are some observations (unsorted and unconfirmed in some cases):
XEAM10X Japan FWD Solterra
YEAM10X Japan AWD Solterra
XEAM10 Japan FWD bZ4X
YEAM15 Japan AWD bZ4X
XEAM10 Euro FWD bZ4X
YEAM15 Euro AWD bZ4X

EW2A5CV-BX ET—HS AWD JDM Solterra
EW1A5BV-AX ET-SS FWD JDM Solterra
EW2A5BV-AX ET-SS AWD JDM Solterra
XEAM10L Hungary FWD bZ4X
YEAM15L Hungary AWD bZ4X
-MWDMSW Comfort bZ4X (Hungary)
-MWDPSW Prestige bZ4X (Hungary)
-MWDHSW Executive or Premier bZ4X (Hungary)
I suppose it is possible to have a two motor FWD, two motor RWD, four motor AWD, three motor (1 front, 2 rear or 2 front, 1 rear) and single motor AWD (with center diff) for #5/#7 engine/drive combinations.

- A - Front 1XM motor
- B - Front 1YM motor, Rear 1YM motor
- A - 10 series 2WD (XEAM10 - XEAM10X for Solterra)
- B - 15 series 4WD (YEAM15 - YEAM15X for Solterra)
- C - only 4WD/AWD observed, unknown distinction
