The OCO looks nice. Timing gear maybe?
Looks like a mid 70's - early 80's three-axis fluxgate magnetometer.
The precision of a fluxgate is a direct function of the stability of the
frequency source that is driving the drive winding, so an OCXO makes
perfect sense.
My offhand guess would be oil and gas exploration.
