I seem to recall the latter getting an outing during a breakdown too
I don’t recall YTV using the “full stop” version of the jingle, but I was only an occasional viewer.
I do recall the long/full version, which was also played in part at 5am, just before the ITN Morning News. This version actually sounded a bit like two jingles mixed together as the volume seemed to increase after the initial bars of the tune. Oddly, the “Yorkshire Television” text wiped off right-to-left at about the same time the music became louder - not sure if that ever happened at start-up, if they were using the same recording of the ident.
Tyne Tees actually did appear to have a recording of the longer track, as they were known to use it as breakdown music in 1991-92.
