Air carrier flight crew reported that ATC cleared them for a visual approach from a base-leg vector ...

Narrative:

On downwind vectors for runway 36L at dfw; the controller asked us to expedite our descent from 11;000 feet to 6;000 feet then to 3;000 feet. On downwind we noticed that the tuned approach - ILS runway 36L was not identifying correctly. Passing 6;000 feet we were cleared for a turn to base leg. Tower asked if we had field in sight; we stated yes and then were cleared for the visual runway 36L. Subsequently the approach controller issued an additional clearance to turn to a 030 heading and intercept the final for runway 36L. The aircraft was showing the identifier for the opposite direction ILS 18R. We reconfirmed runway 36L in sight and again cleared to land and completed an uneventful approach and landing. After landing we queried the ground controller as to the status of the ILS runway 36L and we were told that there was maintenance being conducted on the ILS runway 18R. The current ATIS did not reflect the approach status nor did the tower advise the ILS out of service (OTS). The pfd indicated the identifier for the ILS runway 18L - ivyn but displayed the inbound course of 356 degrees. It was relayed that there was maintenance being conducted on the opposite direction approach facility. Suggest crews confirm with approach and tower controller as to the status of operating facilities/equipment.
