ZT vs LMT.

Is it appropriate to use Local Mean Time as being synonymus with Zone Time? My notion of LMT is the time when some event is going to occur at the prime meridian. The presumption being that this event will then occur at every other meridian. or LMT corrected for longitude (ARC to time) yields GMT. GMT corrected for zone description (+ or -) gives ZT. If you take a test that says "At 1945 hours, after passing Catalina Island and establishing an evening star fix..." then The next statement reads "All times on this test are either LMT or UT" What kind of time would you take 1945 hours to be?
