My thinking is that it was placed on blank sheets of paper , then it was run thru a newspaper printing , so it was used as revenue on newspapers that were sold in the Turkish Empire or part that the Austrians controled .
Know nothing of this era, but ironically saw another couple stamps just a couple days ago in a different location from this same series so looked them up. Austrian for use in the Turkish Empire, Scott 49 was what I found. Note was added that this is surface colored-paper.
It could be an Austrian and Ottoman marking as noted in the "Bale Specialized Holyland Catalogue during the rule of the Ottoman Empire Stamps & Postal History 1840-1919".
