The labels may or may not be significant. If the frequency is indeed -2.94 Hz at 2.5V EFC, you could probably get it back to 10 MHz by increasing the EFC voltage. You can also decrease the bridge capacitor to bring the frequency up if necessary. The factory was supposed to choose the capacitor to get 10 MHz in the center of the EFC range. If this is not correct, the oscillator is usually perfectly OK , and they just goofed on the capacitor. The capacitor installation process had a lot of problems. Should be safe to power it up and see what the status is.
