You find similar empty cartouches at Edfu and Dendera. I believe they date from late in the Ptolemaic Period when there were both Egyptian uprisings (some centred on the Theban area) and dynastic squabbles.
This blog was set up in 2004 to aggregate news about Egyptology and related topics from online sources on a regular basis. It was closed finally in September 2013 due to other commitments. It has been left open as an archive, but comments have been disabled.
