SU1882 turned onto the approach from the north, TK6491 came up from the south.
It looks like the 747 overshot the localizer slightly showing a 218 knot groundspeed on the turn to final.
TK6491 plots well above the path of SU1882 in the FR24 .kml files.
At roughly the same position on short final, TK6491 shows 3100 feet, 185 knots, heading 259 degrees and SU1882 shows 2040 feet, 140 knots and heading 259 degrees.
You can download these .kml files and open them simultaneously with Google Earth. You can also play with the tilt to check the vertical path profile.
