No, wings and horns are definite original part of the decoration. Many helmets depicted in attic vase-paintings have comparable features, but all helmets with preserved horns or wings com from South Italy. These helmets were definitely produced in greek workshops (in Tarent, Metapont etc.), but I have serious doubts if they were actually worn by greeks. See my earliest posts in this thread.
