What you are calling a surcharge is most likely the slogan portion of a slogan cancel. It could be the stamp was affixed to the envelope in an upside down orientation.

Thank you for this but how can you tell if you can, if the stamp isn't on anything, it was put on something upside down.

It's likely that the stamp was affixed incorrectly, upside down, in the upper right corner of an envelope; there are actually a number of scenarios that could be imagined.
The important discovery, in my opinion, is that it is a machine cancel and not a surcharge or overprint.
