I don't have the manual down here and handy but I'll say neither.  As a 
general rule, Navy stuff was always Low-Z (500/600).  And as another, the 
headphone jack on a receiver like the RDZ would in the normal course of events 
only get used by the ET or RM pulling POMSEE, 3M, PMS or whatever they called 
it earlier tests.  The people actually using the receiver would normally 
have been several decks and frames away for the compartment the radio was in.  
In the day, audio from the receiver would have run to a Receiver Transfer 
Switchboard typically in Radio Central.  From there it could be patched to 
pretty much anywhere in the ship.
