Originally per the filecard his birthplace was unknown, if he had a Scottish accent I think they would've guessed it. So I don't think Hama had Destro's origin down early on either. Never made sense there as even in the Marvel comics Sunbow made commercials Destro was never given a Scottish accent but Zartan however did have an accent :
I don't think Destro would've used his real voice as Destro, but Cobra Commander and Destro did seem like master of disguises, GI JOE seemed to have had quite few that were.
Baroness was though specifically signaled out as being European on her file card(and she was given a heavy eastern European accent in the cartoon but I don't think the comic had her with accent but a french sounding fake Cobra inspired name like DeCobray).
Destro was also described as "faceless power behind Mars which was the largest manufacturer of state-of-art weaponry". So we don't get really the impression he was known to be in charge of that corporation or whatever it was supposed to be but it seemed important.
The whole helmet fixation from Sunbow to Action Force and later DDP on his helmet in particular I think was corny and cliche and its ultimate bi-product was ROC .
Shame Destro's ruby medallion was forgotten about, to me it seemed more important than the helmet. Which almost every Cobra wore some kinda complete helmet or mask mostly cause they lead double lives and were international terrorists.
