There have obviously been some changes informulation from the SM formulation, specifically Moly, Zinc and Phosphorus, but it looks like the Toyota 0W20 SN formulation continues to maintain it's very high VI unlike so many other SN formulations.
There are some additional parameters in my test report:
NOACK = 10.3%
S Ash = 0.91%
TAN=1.99
pour point =-46
CCS=6433 (borderline fail, but in limit of repeatability of the test method)
