R1 and R3, I stand in B, but that's neither here nor there.

I stand in B also in this situation, although FED mechanic says C. But you are right, that is neither here nor there for this discussion.

What's your point? There is no reference as to where the BU was. The story teller said that as a "spectator" he was on 1st baseline extended, not the umpire.

I deleted my post that is quoted herein, because it has nothing to do with this situation, but apparently you responded moments before I deleted. I also stand in B with 1st and 3rd situation although FED mechanic says stand in C. CCA and PBUC mechanics say stand in B and I feel more comfortable there, especially if runner is not being held at 3B and is being held at 1B.
Contrary to popular belief, I see no way the BU could have gotten into position to make this call. The swipe tag was missed by maybe 6 inches, and again I am sitting on 1B line extended and in the front row of the bleachers, maybe 40 feet from the PU, so I got a real good look at the swipe.
