These oscillators use a switchmode oven controller so this is one 
possible source  of noise another possibility is the reference zener.

Have you used the recommended LC filter to isolate the oven controller 
switching transients from the oscillator which is necessary when the 
oscillator and oven controller employ the same 10.6-11.7V power supply?

I have a copy of the 1 October 1972 10544A datasheet if you want a 
scanned copy.
