I agree Robert. I have maybe a dozen or more Racal receivers here, all
the UK ones had Racal made frequency standards. Most of the US built
ones had bought in ovens, notably the 6790/GM. The 6772Es came with a
nice looking US Racal badged on the outside TCXO all of which however
seem now to be faulty, even the NOS spare one I had. Opening them up
you find inside a nasty looking plastic OEM module they must have
seriously regretted buying :^)
