Winged Tartars?

Gents,
Saw a pic in the Osprey, "Polish Armies 1569 - 1696, Part 2" on plate F1, depicting a winged Tartar. Other than the small blip on them, how common was the Tartars using wings?

I just painted up a "mob" of them for my GNW project, and the sculpting bug bit me, was going to take my hand at adding some "wings".

Thank you gents.

Here is a painting of the Tartars encounter with Karl X Gustaf at the Battle of Warsaw in 1656. They have "wings."

Upon closer inspection I should say that at least one figure appears to have a single wing. IIRC their is anoter b/w drawing that shows Tartats with wings but I cannot locate it.
