I suppose they are just modern fakes. 5 May 1945 is a meaningless date in Austrian history, as far as I know. 27 April the Austrian republic was proclaimed / reinstated and on 8 May the second world war ended officially in Austria with the unconditional surrender of the German army.
So I think this is just another attempt to cash on the demand for Third Reich material.

Well, it seems there are indeed such stamps, presumably locally made in Dorfstetten, Lower Austria, so perhaps the date is the liberation of this village. Whether these are actually authentic overprints or modern "reproductions" is difficult to say.
