However, unless I'm missing something, I don't actually see what would've
drawn the characters. A little digging on Bitsavers shows there was a VC8E
driver.

Even in this, I don't see any sign of a character lookup table or the like.
Where would all of this have been created?
That driver contains the line:
JMS I (STRTHL+4 /CALL PROGRAM HELP
which calls the code in
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp8/papertapeImages/russ.ucs.indiana.edu/Utils/VC8E/Ascii/help.pa
which is what I think you were looking for.
