Unfortunately, yes. We can see traces of iranian material (some accurate things, some very confusing ones...) but Xenophon arranged and used them as he pleased...
I completely agree with Paul, we must have great caution regarding Cyropaedia (for iranists is very interesting, much more now that in past decades, for historians a very irregular source). But as Pierre Briant uses to write: we can't choose our sources... big truth.
