Probably I missed telling the list that, the coax feeds a 1:1 balun

Hi Ramakrishnan,

If, by this description, you mean that there are four wires, two for
20M and 2 for 40M; then that is all good and well.

However, if you mean that there are two wires, one for 20M and one for
40M arranged as a dipole; then that is unbalanced and what I called an
OCF Dipole.

By your description of a slight mismatch, I will take it that you are
using four wires - a Fan Dipole. This convention is widely used and
suited to your purposes.
