Simonenko studied properties of convolution type operators on cones in $\R^n$. The purpose of this note is to show that every convolution operator on a suitable cone in $\R^n$
or $\Z^n$ can be identified with a standard Wiener-Hopf operator, i.e. a convolution operator on $\R_+^n$ or $\Z_+^n$, respectively.
We demonstrate this identification and give explicit formulae for the convolution kernels and symbols of these Wiener-Hopf operators.
