Depends on the position of the critical obstruction that affects each runway. Quite common to see different circling MDA for each runway.
Dunno about that, Centaurus! The PANS-OPS circling area is defined as tangents joining arcs from each threshold. I reckon there can't be an obstacle that is unique to only one runway's circling approach as the circling area as defined applies to all runways.
