A 1/2WL dipole is a standing wave antenna.
Are you saying that the forward energy is one source
and the energy reflected from the ends is a second
source?
Each dipole has visible the two radials (sometimes end parts of the
transmitting line). Each radials has the one strong source at the end like
the Kundt's tube. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundt's_tube
A dipole has the two radials so it has at least the two strong sources.
Only the two if it is shorter then WL. If it is longer than WL then appear
the next sources on the both radials at each 1/2WL from the end.
I will be absent till Monday evening.
