[Collins] Collins Oscillator

While cleaning the shed today, I uncovered, what looks like a Collins 
oscillator.
This is a tube based oscillator.
The only numbers that I see are, 541 0085 003 0A and 543 8612 005 E. 
There is MCN 268.

This appears to be a high stability oscillator in a cylinder. Mounted 
on the same chassis with the cylinder is a box that appears to be 
the  components to get the oscillator netted to its required frequency.

This chassis is shock mounted to the main chassis which appears to be 
to amplify and distribute the oscillator.

Any ideas as to what it might have been used with and its accuracy 
and stability?

Before long, it will probably become parts for my junque box, if I 
cannot find some information on it.

Thanks
