Locator approach vs NDB approach

Does anyone know the full difference between a locator/DME approach and an NDB/DME approach when the aid in use appears to be the same NDB, but there are separate approach plates (and also tracks) for the two approaches.

I've used NDB approaches many times, but never a locator approach. I understood that a locator is a loess-powerful NDB, which is used as a middle or outer marker.

Any practical and useful tips welcome.
