I'm guessing not. The General gives you the authority of the Marine but neither talks about the Restricted. Again, the requirement isn't FCC but foreign governments. The FCC issues the RR to pilots (among others) to prove to other countries that we do license, cough, cough, our pilots to talk on the radio. So I'd think any radiotelephone license should do since the RR is the lowest grade issued. When I started flying and you did have to have a radio license to fly domestically (at least if the plane had a radio), I had a radiotelephone third class with a broadcast endorsement. Drove people crazy because it wasn't what they were used to seeing. When it expired I just got the RR.
Your best bet is to call the FCC, 888-callfcc. While their website drives me crazy, I've found the people on the phone very helpful.

I also laminate my medicals - after I scan them into my computer. My AME uses an inkjet printer, so if it gets wet, it's toast!
