Thanks in advance
Don’t have any references for you, however, my understanding is that RADIO is only a relay service to ATC and OAC(C) is the ATC unit, potentially housed in different locations.

Either would work in an emergency, however I believe the OACC number should put you in direct contact with ATC and would be my first choice.
