Me thinks

If I understand you correctly.....

It would be .....

Because the glide slope is not emitted from the same place the Localizer is transmitted from.

The glide slope is mounted from 750 to 1250 foot down the runway and about 250 - 650ft offset from the runway center line.

Also runways are built up from surrounding ground so that water runs off & so forth.

AS you pass it it shows it falling away to the side...where really you are just passing it.

Looks like a square building that is painted usually red and white checkered.

Unless I miss your point all together.
