Next time you land 29 take note of where th vasis, (same touch down point as an ILS) are in relation to the touchdown markers and you will find your answer.

I believe to do with the area on the end of the runway that is used for fighters to hold ready for take off, not sure of the correct term, (ORP), it moves the touchdown point for the ILS/VASIS further down the runway improving the obstacle clearance with the above aircraft I believe.
