I would do a dead bug construction and insert inside the equipment and mark it 10MHz reference.
All your instruments will be sync.!

Ready made or to be built? Use a divide-by-10 (7490-like) set to divide
with 50% duty cycle or divide by 5 then by 2.

My Racal Dana 9908 can take a 1 Mhz external reference. Inputting my
Thunderbolt at 10 MHz works, but shifts the decimal point over. I am
not sure if this has any other detrimental effects as to accuracy or
other? What's the easiest way to have a 1 MHz reference from the
Thunderbolt for this timer / counter please, yet retaining 10 Mhz for
my other devices that want a 10MHz reference signal?  Thanks.
