The only information I have on Egyptian noses is that, according to Asterix and Obelix, Cleopatra was famous for her nose.

It is clearly explained in this 1968 movie, how and why the Sphinx happens to lack her nose: https://youtu.be/RFnfR26jnzo?t=2033
she was Greek though so probably not a great example
she was born in alexandria, north africa, as daughter to the ruling pharaoh of the ptomelaic kingdom in egypt.
Yes, and the Ptolemaic Kingdom was a Greek kingdom founded by Ptolemy I Soter, a companion and historian of Alexander the Great. He started the kingdom after the death of Alexander.
