I now use 2 headsets. One is plugged into the sound card on my pc. The
other is plugged into either my desk phone or my cell phone.

The PC has 3.5 mm jacks. The phones have 2.5 mm jacks. I guess these are
standards?

Are they, in fact, the same headsets? That is, with a little rewiring,
could I plug either headphone into either source? It would really be nice
not to have to swap headphones all day.

I have tried everything I can think of to search on the web for this answer,
and can't find it.

No, their different - PC headphones are stereo while 2.5mm headphnes
typically are mono.

So the jack output is different - you maybe able to find a 3.5mm to 2.5mm
converter at radioshack though.

I'm sorry, I should have said that. I know the telephone is not stereo and
know that's one of the wiring connections I would have to make. But, are
they the same voltage, impedance, or whatever is required?

I don't know about the impedence, but there are adapters:

Probably easier to buy one than to wire your own contraption.
