OK - the VOR is not exactly on the runway centerline - maybe two runway
widths off. Is that the reason then? Are we sure, or just guessing?

We are not guessing.
That's good. I wrote here with my question because I was sure I would find an
informed response. So are you telling me, without a doubt, that the 12° offset
on this approach, as well as similar offsets on many non-precision approaches
is so that the MAP will fall on the runway extended centerline - and you can
point to documentation to support this?
I ask you in this manner because I agree with Matt Whiting that this does not
appear to be a plausible explanation, and there must be another.
