Ah, excellent. You can clearly see the frequency offset change vs time over time in that last image due to daily temperature changes rather than load; the first link shows freq vs t graphs with clear steps, suggesting those systems have enough load-- and changing load-- to dominate the frequency changes due to temperature. Looks like your crystal sees ~1.5 pps drift from a 10C change in temp, but I'm just guesstimating. :-) Do you have measurements of the ambient temperature?
