By some experimentation, playing with the settings I could think of,
I found that the following settings seem to do what you want.

:set encoding=latin1
:set display+=uhex
:set isprint=

That should display any non-ASCII characters as their hex values in
angle brackets, e.g., <a0>, and colored with the SpecialKey
highlighting.
