A very weird case, but each country can do things their own way.
The ILS FAF - GS intercept at 2700' - is 0.2 NM inside the LOC FAF. In the FMC database, the former is coded as FI01, and the latter is VI311. The LOC FAF is also 6.5 DME off of the LOC DME, identifier IAV, which corresponds to 7.4 DME off of VNO (the Vilnius VOR).

They are not located in the same place. You can see how they match up at waypoints V1311 & V1312 on both the planform and profile view.
The difference between the DME for the two ...
