There is a displaced threshold of 190' on 01 - so worth about 10' higher passing over the fence.

I doubt it was really deliberate , can’t remember if the runway slopes up and gives a slightly strange picture ?
Average up slope on 01 is about 0.8%, but it's not uniform along the length of the runway (apparently the tower can't see either THR).
