No, no - Napoleon was several thousand years late to knock off the original nose. In fact, there was no nose at all by the time his guardsmen came on the job. They were just adding to the cratering when they fired at the Sphinx.

I believe it was Obelix who broke off the Sphinx's nose, although the hair that broke the camels back (Sphinx's schnoz?) may actually have been the weight of Dogmatix who may have been handging from Gerard Depardieu at the time...But I could be wrong.
