hikoushi,

if you have a look at the buffet onset boundary in the QRH or FCOM, you'll see that the critical Mach number varies quite a bit, depending on angle of attack. At low Mach I would expect shockwaves to occur first on the wing, at high Mach I don't know. You'll have to wait for our resident aerodynamicist to chime in.
