Bloggs,
You are correct. The second one I posted is the correct chart...sorry about that
Jepp has the FAF in the same location, the issue is the level segment past the FAF and different GPA.

What is ALT AD of 17? I note all of the altitudes have 17 added to them...
600 (583), 2000 (1983), etc..

For non-precision approaches the Tan 3° formula is OK for nominal altitudes.
However for Precision approaches the Earth curvature should be taken into account which will raise the nominal glide path altitudes depending on the distance away from the touch down point.
