I've seen it done to some old European stamps as well. Here's a "before" and "after" of two Portugal Sc. 9's I have. Ouch - some old-time collector (or their kid) couldn't resist trimming to the rounded corners...

You will find it rarely done to imperforate stamps that have no frame and Scott actually gives a catalog value for these "cut to shape" stamps. The 1847-48 Queen Victoria stamps of Great Britain are probably the most familiar. Scott #5 for example has a used intact cv of $1000 and a used cut-to-shape cv of $20.

So the Magenta was issued as octagon.
