Sorry - my mistake. Of course it is.
As the VOR procedure is 4 offset from the runway, most of the approach should be with the a/c to the North of the c/l. My point I tried to make (badly) was that rather than the aircraft fly a perfect managed path, the pilot may have done something else with his track knob that took him ultimately towards the VOR (past the point where he should turn left and align with the runway). The FMC wouldn't do that.
Selected/selected is just an Airbus term, meaning lateral and vertical modes are controlled by the track knob and the FPA (flight path angle) knob. The alternative is managed for either plane (which is like LNAV/VNAV for Boeing pilots).
