I just pulled it out again -- the two red wires in question go directly to
pads that go right into the back of the display. There's also a part number
with "EPSON" on the sticker, and a google search did turn up somebody
wanting data on this unit (but no followups unfortunately). And that goes
back to 1999. :-)
Looks to be about a 2x16 or 2x20 maybe, with the usual Hitachi controller
chip on there. Of the few LCDs I have on hand here, the other two are
somewhat bigger, this is the only one I have that'll fit into the cover
plate on a drive bay, which suggests some possible applications.

And does that schematic show an LCD anywhere?
I'm not sure what they used
it for offhand. I can probably make the display work with something, but
if
it's indeed backlit that'd be a nice
capability to use...
Nope, but I'm just trying to tie into the WDC brand. My product
directories don't turn up anything from around 1985 in the way of an XT
with the WDC logo (there was an XT with the "Western Computer" name,
however). WDC was into a lot of things back then.
