I think I see another reason for your misunderstanding here.
There is no such thing as "approach thrust" as a fixed value, which can be "left".
Unlike "maximum climb thrust" ("CLIMB", the highest thrust used after thrust reduction on a normal flight), "maximum continuous thrust" ("MCT", the highest thrust used during single-engine operation after thrust reduction) and "maximum take-off-thrust ("TOGA"), which are more or less constant.
Approach thrust is whatever is necessary to maintain approach speed.
Obviously, with both engines operating that is a lot less than if a single engine has to achieve that, so consequently EPR rises.
As you can see, during the approach, the EPR value fluctuated between 1.1 and 1.06.
