Definitely ! I came first with a function that was more similar to __array__ and so __wrap_array__ seemed a plausible name for this function.
Afterward, I changed a bit the role of this function to propose the alternative way and your names are way more adequate (it may be useful to add the unary/binary word in the function like:

__unary_ufunc__
__binary_lufunc__
__binary_rufunc__

as it does not map exactly to __add__, __radd__ and people could mix __ufunc__ and __rufunc__ without understanding the __lufunc__...
