Thanks Tom,

I have a book with pictures of Log Periodic AND Yagi Antennas.

Yagi Antennas also have slightly different size Elements too.

The Reflector is longer than the Driven Element.
Each Director Element is slightly shorter than the Driven Element,
and the next Director Element is slightly shorter than the previous
one, etc., etc.

I took a look at my Winguard TV Antenna and it isn't a LPA,
it is a Yagi.

I could see two wires going towards the rear that were connected to
each side of the next to last Element.  VHF?

Another two wires are going towards a Shorter Element about the Third
or Fourth from the front Element.  UHF?

There wasn't any staggering of a wire to multiple Elements as a LPA
would have.
