Doubt it.
Classical curved or recurved yataghan blades started to tilt down literally within 10-15 cm ( often much less) from the hilt. Here the blade is straight for at least 30 cm.
Of course, this would not apply to the straight yataghan blades, but those were pretty rare.
I might look at the position of the turkish ribbon vs. the tip. Usually, there was some space between them. If it merges with the tip, you might have a point ( pun not intended).
