The AIM manual is updated twice a year and this version is the latest one from October 12th 2017 with the new one due in April 2018.
Unfortunately I don't have access to older versions to see if or when the standards were changed (it could have been years ago).
I will try to find other info on your questions but may take awhile because I'm on a flight through Europe at this time.
The approach lighting on RWY 05 consist of HIRL, CL, SSALR, and a PAPI on the left side. The opposite side (RWY 23) is a CAT II runway with much better lighting.
If the approach to that runway as not changed since the accident, then the approach that night to RWY 05 was a LOC only approach (no G/S) but with a DME. The MDA was 820' (357') and the MAP was at 1.7 DME (taken from another DME freq.) which brought the MAP to the threshold of RWY 05.
However if you the crew had decided to do a constants descent from the final fix to RWY 05 they would have done their missed approach a lot sooner than the 1.7 DME point.
