I just noticed that Scott actually has a short discussion of Austrian personalized stamps.
So if you find an Austria stamp having an image and a yellow bar at the bottom with only the country name and denomination and no date below the bar, you will know it is a personalized stamp.
Also, some of the later stamps have other colors in the bar, as shown in the fourth post down. More recently I believe additional liberties have been taken, such as eliminating the bottom bar.
Some examples are shown below
