In my eyes it looks more like arabian imitations:

(these are tetradrachms) but I'm far from being sure  :-\.

An overview on the imitations of Athenian owls is given in Peter van Alfen, "Mechanisms for the imitations of Athenian coinage: Dekeleia and mercenaries reconsidered", Revue belge de numismatique 147, 2011, pp. 55-93:

perhaps there you find more.
