I've found my partially downloaded update files in /private/var/folders//com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
The appear to be some hash of either the computer or the software being downloaded. Try the following:
Open a Terminal
sudo find /private -name ' SomePartOfTheDriverNameYouAreLookingFor' -print
then sudo cd
Note I don't see /private in finder because of the permissions on it (hence the need for sudo above).
Also note, I had one directory in named -Cache- which is tricky to cd into because the leading - is perceived as an argument to cd, so I just cd into the entire directory path instead.
Finally, be wary doing things as root (sudo) as you can end up damaging your OS (so don't go around removing files you are not sure about)

Yes, most new installs are placed in the /Applications folder, and that was the first place I checked. When I checked initially for updates, the App Store/Updates identified both the delta update AND the Combo updater. I ran the delta update to 10.8.1, restarted the iMac, then ran the App Store/Updates again.
