If you mean standard (or tugh) heads, then I think the answer is no, those look like ordinary lance-heads to me.

Tugh head or yes-standards as the correct definition in English.. If lance head, I am not sure but should they not be a bit heavier and stronger to thrust efficiently when thrown?(though I vote on the "not standards" side too)

I Think this is the sort of thing you had in mind, although this example is actually Mamluk (I couldn't find a picture of an Ottoman tugh).

Still not found a photo of an Ottoman tugh, however I did find this line drawing though from Osprey's "Armies of the Ottoman Turks 1300-1774" by David Nicolle:

Tombak
Both the blades and ferrules look like Indonesian tombak to me.

They did strike me as tombak-like too. In his book "Ottoman Art In the Service of the Empire," Zdzislaw Zygulski includes a chapter on tughs. While there are variations, the "classic" Ottoman tugh has a rounded finial.
