If I understood correctly, one would be cleared for ILS approach with intercept angle approaching something like 150°. Quite unacceptable according to my ops manual which prohibits self-positioning for approach and restricts maximum intercept angle to 90°but not closer than 12 Nm to threshold. Depending on holding turn, paralel or offset entry would be required to align with LOC.

Check your OM, anyway.
