Dutch term or phrase: tegennummer
Firstly, my apologies for not supplying more context/information in this case.

there are two elements of a wiretapped conversation:

bronnummer en tegennummer

"source number" is well-documented, however, "tegennummer" is less obvious.

I have seen "counter number", but if anyone has any input on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

(call) recipient number / dialed number / called number
Explanation:
(call) source number => the number of the call recipient IMO
If the calling number is the source, then dialed number or called number are also possible, depending on how you handle the rest of the context.

calling vs. called number


Explanation:
This is the description of a 'tegennummer' in Dutch.

al>Als een nummer wordt getapt, is van de meeste gesprekken die degene die getapt wordt voert ook een tegennummer bekend bij de tapkamer. Het tegennummer is het nummer waarmee verbinding is gelegd. Dit is echter niet altijd het geval. Bij GSM-taps is een tegennummer in een zeer klein aantal gevallen niet bekend, maar bij de taps op vaste lijnen is dat aantal groter.</al>



I can't see much evidence for 'source number' being used in this context.
I would say that both parties were the 'calling' and the 'called' number:
