Not quite.  The commercial character set was distinct from the scientific
set in the 026 era, the code points were the same but what was printed
differed.  I don't remember all of them now, but the sci ) was mapped to
the same code point as the square blob in commercial.  When 360 came out
with ebcdic, the dual mapping was done away with - at least for these
characters.

I don't remember much about the H200 - worked on the D1000, the H800, and
the H400.  Wasn't the 200 originally designed for process control?
