It looks like quick draw McGraw got ahold of your stamps. I doubt there was a standard hole punch. They used what they had.

This was a standard and common way to 'cancel' their stamps by punching them with a hole or a number of them.

I should also add that a lot of revenue collectors are willing to pay a slight premium for used stamps with circular cancels. Some are hard to find that way.
