No, they are not, you babbling idiot.

Have you the same voltages on the braid and on the coax "live" wire?


Not without a ballancing device of some sort.


Are the same voltages on the counterpoise and on the arm?

If not, than you heve the monopole.


What an utter idiot; a monopole has one physical element while a dipole
has two physical elements.


Monopole have always the two elements: the antenna and the counterpoise.

That is the meaning of the prefixes "mono", which means one, and "di",
which means two.


So monopole has the one pole. The end of the counterpoise is not the pole.
In your "dipole" the counterpoise is in the form of one elevated radial.
