Nitpick, RJ-11, but before that was a four-prong.

I can confirm the four prong. My father installed phones. Had support for two lines black and yellow wires and red and green wires. Two wires per phone.

Yep, can also confirm. My parents have a four-prong to RJ-11 adapter in their house, built in the 60's.
