Are Homura's wings witch wings in the end?


At the end of the anime where Homura is in a wasteland, she grows wings. The
texture is almost the same as the art style that is used for witches and their
lairs, so I'm wondering - at the end of the anime, was Homura becoming
something of a witch/magical girl hybrid?

Pictures of Homura's wings:

The Rebellion movie seems to hint that

> Homura's wings in this scene were indeed witch wings, or rather, the
> beginning of Homura's transformation into a witch.

The biggest clue is the landscape. The last time we see Homura in the series
she is about to confront a bunch of wraiths in a desert landscape. The
Rebellion movie reveals

> that the Incubators tried to trap Homura and interrupt her witch
> transformation in order to draw out Madoka. When the Incubators' barrier is
> broken, Homura is still in the desert.

If you assume the two deserted landscapes are one and the same,

> you would conclude that Homura was about to turn into a witch at the end of
> the series. Presumably, that's where her transformation began before it was
> interrupted, setting the events of the Rebellion movie in motion.
