Can anyone point out why the following approaches have minor differences
(specifically the minimums and the MAP):

RUT LOC/DME 19
RUT LOC 19 (with DME)



Beats me. All the minimums for the LOC w/DME are as good or better than
the corresponding values for the LOC/DME. I can't see any reason
anybody would ever want to fly the LOC-DME.

I can only see one possible reason for the LOC-DME to exist, and I'll
admit it's grasping at straws. In the LOC-DME, you start the missed
further out, which may be of some operational advantage to ATC? But
since this is an untowered airport, it's almost certainy "one-in,
one-out", so I can't get too excited about that idea.
