With that TVFool plot, the C4 doesn't need the VHF kit, it's good enough "barefoot" for channels 12 & 13.
There seems to be a misconception that UHF antennas are blind to UHF signals, that's far from correct. It would be more accurate to describe them as myopic in varying degrees. If the signals are of adequate strength and quality, it will still work, same as pretty much everything else antenna-related. If you have a margin of 30+ dB and an inefficient antenna that is, say -10 dB gain, you still have 20 dB of margin, plenty to work with before other variables are incorporated.
