Stock JK TechBulletin board forum regarding issues with OE (original equipment) components of the Jeep JK Wrangler (Rubicon, Sahara, Unlimited and X) such as factory suspension parts, engine, transmission, body parts, interior fixtures and the on-board computer.
It appears that the 6th Character corresponds to the Series, mine came up Sahara and if I changed only that digit to 6, it came up Rubicon, but I suspect that there is more to it then that, the 6 might be a unlimited Rubicon, whereas a regular Rubicon has a different number.
if sixth position is "6" then it is a Rubicon, for either 2- or 4-door.
For 2011 and older models the sixth vin position will indicate the sub-model. On 2012 and newer models it is the 7th digit that will indicate the sub-model. The sub-models are as follows -
VIN Digit 7
C rubicon
B Saraha
G sport
F unlimited Rubicon
E unlimited Saraha
D unlimited Sport
I checked your links, but they do not work, so I found a site, which seems to be a good VIN decoder, check it out. To find out from a VIN if the Jeep is a Rubicon, just look at the "Trim" field
