No. The log file always includes the brief parameter list.
The only way to avoid this is to use the screen display
and re-direct that to a file. The screen display can be
customised to show what you want (e.g. /of3/oe3/od3) then
use >> to append the display to your log file. Of course
you don't see the screen display when you do this although
you could use a TEE utility to send the display to both
the screen and a file.

The alpha version (2.86) includes a switch to completely
suppress the parameter listing so you'll be able to do
it when that version is released.
