Your Egyptian Revenue stamp and a green companion to it are on this stamp chat board discussion from 2012. Scroll down about halfway and you will find them pictured. The discussion say it is an Egyptian Revenue from 1962 (1962 are the Arabic numerals on your stamp at bottom center).
From the discussion: "These are from Egypt when there was a unity between Egypt & Syria 1962, and these were tax stamps for being a member in the "Arab United Social Organization" which was a very famous organization at that time (the purple one). The other one (green) is to be affixed on the member card to be official."
Here is a link to a worldwide revenues site that has a ton of very good info on it. I did not find your stamp on this site (didn't search incredibly thoroughly though). https://www.revrevd.com/
