It looks like part of a sheet of type III Scott 540 with an imperf margin at the bottom. A closeup scan of one of the stamps is needed to determine the type. The likelihood of being a type II Scott 539 is very low. The vertical perforation rows are aligned and the rows end, a characteristic of the rotary press bar perforator. Flat plate perforation rows do not stop before the margin. Narrow vertical margins are typical of rotary press stamps. The horizontal margins are wider to better accommodate making coils. Roll fragments unsuitable for coiling were cut into sheets, finished with flat plate perforators, and sold. The term "coil waste" is used to describe these stamps which are often found off center.

I was hoping the poster would find out for himself, so I deliberately left the cat number off.
