Perhaps compile it under SimH and do a block-level diff of the image with what is currently in use, and transfer just those blocks? (Presumably would be the superblock, bitmap, directory and actual program blocks). For my setup I use a DR11 to transfer data, using an Arduino with Ethernet as a go-between my PC and the PDP-11.
