Does anyone know why does the turbopropeller engine reach the same overall propulsive efficiency at a higher mach number than the supercharged piston-propeller engine?

The attached picture is a graph that indicates this trend, it was found in "The Design Of The Aeroplane" by Darrol Stinton.

Many thanks
