Technically speaking, there is a very significant difference between a nozzle and a diffuser. The former is intended to increase the speed of the fluid towards the exit, the latter to decrease it. In the context of a fire extinguisher, it would definitely be the latter. If the item concerned flares outwards (as they usually do, at least for gas extinguishers), then it would indeed be a horn or diffuser.

According to www.granddictionnaire.com
soufflette=blow nozzle

Le horn est une trompette séparée du corps de l'extincteur, au bout d'un tube coudé ou d'un flexible
