Mike Hanz's excellent site has a document with this information.
Check "Page 5" listed at this URL:

http://aafradio.org/docs/1943-Navy-radio-gear.html

At the bottom, it lists radio gear on K-Class airships (ZNP).
It lists a RU/GF set, a RU/GP set, DZ, ZB, and LM gear.

For more detail on the K-Class, see:

It says 134 were built.

Neat stuff!
