You are correct for circling approach there is no correction for wind end of downwind in FCOM. I mixed up with normal circuit because the discussion also stated somewhere the circuit height as 1500ft which is normal circuit height which is corrected for wind abeam landing threshold. The airbus article says only about turning downwind 30 seconds corrected for wind and abeam landing threshold as 3sec/100ft as visual exercise, timings are appx. only and to use ND (for correct placement).
