I have heard an Afrocentrist claim that Napoleon's troops deliberately shot away the nose so that it wouldn't be obvious that the Pharaoh being depicted was Black!
I don't know if they really know when the nose was damaged...I think the Turks have also been blamed.

“...and Napolean’s Army gave it a nose job!:”
I think that’s a myth. The nose was damaged by erosion IIRC.
