I've had a look at the plate and would say that the MDA is the same DME or no DME. The alternative procedure makes it clear that 'no DME' is an option. The published minimum is sufficiently high to miss the high ground just beyond the airfield by over 300 ft if you get the timing to the MAPt a bit wrong.

Conversely the Loc DME for 16 states on the plate that DME is mandatory.
