This has a certain phototype stench to it, but it also has some seemingly smart things going for it, so I’d like to figure out what it is in order to mine its full character set for potential ideas.

It’s Linotype Carniola. I used WhatTheFont for this id; often useless, occasionally just the ticket.
Actually, the page on the Linotype site says 1993 (12 years ago). The designer, aside from not liking the font very much, says, “Carniola is a pastiche of different type designs from the beginning of the 20th century, mostly American.” So your assessment of a Souvenir/Garamond love child is right on the money.
