One thing to keep in mind, inbound traffic from the north or south
and asked to enter a downwind, they expect you to fly a 45 to the
downwind. I don't know if this is a standard procedure, but it is
often published in the "Tower Talk" section of the airport newsletter.

That would be a local thing. At the two places I have worked, one being
where UND lives, if I ask you to enter a right downwind you better not
have been flying outside the old ATA to suddenly come zipping in at
midfield. If I want you at mid field I will tell you to enter a
midfield downwind.
