In the early 1980s, fly-over, then correct the overshoot outbound, was the norm; especially if an airplane did not have DME, and/or had only a single VOR receiver. These days RNAV is commonplace, so an early turn to remain on centerline is the norm.
RNAV waypoints are now generally understood to be "fly through" (early turn) unless specifically coded as "fly over" (on some SIDs & STARs, particularly).
