Partly but much is historical vandalism. If the new emperor didn't like the previous emperor, they often had their likenesses smashed.

Completely forgot that the romans would ofen destroy the noses, would make sense if it is actually representing Claudius. But yeah, could be any of them, wear and tear from time/location it was buried or because it was Claudius
