A reasonable guess but......

I wrote a routine that cycles through writing 0-255 to
position 16. Can confirm that all segments in the three
characters work, but the result was like a poker machine.

Each time a new value is written to pos16 all three
characters change together. Occassionally they are
the same but mostly all three are incomplete characters
with no apparent relationship to the immediately previous
or following characters. As they're 7-seg they aren't in
the character table, ruling out Japanese, but even so they
wouldn't come in groups of three

The only combination I could relate to was "ILL"

Will try an LCD forum, contact Optrex (ha !) or look
closely for any markings like "Property Of Area 51,
Alien Technologies And Languages Dept". I'm sure
I saw something like it in "Predator"
