Well, I have this Turkish book and many weapons are labelled as Ottomans and they are not.
It's a classic. Iranians and Indians are doing the same, everything in their country has to be from their country. I don't know if it is a mistake or just nationalism.
The axe posted is attributed to the Ottomans based on the Royal Ontario mistake.
This axe is Persian, probably for religious or theatrical representations.
IMO
