OK, re-reading the first part of section 5.2.5, it’s pretty clear that the Unibus is 120-ohm:
A bus terminator is defined as a Unibus element or part of an element containing
a resistive network which connects to the end of a Unibus segment and matches
the 120-ohm characteristic impedance of the Unibus transmission path.

Given that it’s hard to see that the impedance of the Unibus is anything but 120-ohms.
