Ayup. All the wedge-plates should be classified as Wings, with all the bricks
staying in Wedges.

If you have a better name for that part, I'd like to hear it -- I haven't come
across a convincing one yet (of course, I haven't been looking).

Yes, AFAWK, those are the official LEGO numbers for those part-colors. For the
base part (ie, without a specific color), all four- and five-digit numbers are
'official LEGO numbers'. Three digit numbers (3DN) are used for parts whose
numbers we don't know.
Alphanumeric suffixes (a, b, c, p01, c02, etc) are used to denote different
parts related to a part with an official known number.
