I won an eBay auction for some temperature compensated crystal oscillators.
Anyone know the pinout of these, or any spec? I know the company is still in business and have asked them, but so far no response.

Would these be similar? http://202.226.94.5/pdf/e/vt145cbe.pdf

Cheers. I don't actually have them here, so I can't really see what pin(s) are grounded in them. Are these things normally the same pinout from different manufactuers - like 8 pin opamps usually use 2 and 3 for inputs, 7 for V+ etc?
Clearly if I run them from 5 and they are designed for 3.3, they might just get damaged. Conversely if they are designed for 5 and I run them from 3.3 they might work, but not give optimal temperature compensation. As you can see, I only paid $1 each, but I'd like to try to get the spec, but the company has so far not answered my message sent via their web site (or perhaps it was email, I can't recall).
Manufacturer: Kyocera Kinseki Japan They do not list any details of this type on the net, but they have similar in the same housing, i.e. (VC-)TCXO-145CB.
