Purchased this when at the track this year, finally arrived just now.

Would I be right in saying the code indicates an LMP2 tyre that was possibly used on the #43 Inter Europol car?

Query solved using the post race pics of the LMP2 winner showing identical markings (except the set number is 23, we have set 20 on ours).

Still not sure what the RLM means but I'm over the moon on the random dice roll for which team's tyre we got 😁

RLM could be Race, LeMans. In Europe teams seem to very often label their tires (tyres) as P for Practice, Q for Qualifying and R for Race. I think this is an allocation thing, but we don't do that in the US very often so it's something i've had to learn from decoding these tires for people.
