If the 1B ump was at home plate, the runner rounding 3B would have been PU call, not the 1B ump. The obs signal would not have been for rounding 3B.
Well, any umpire who witnesses OBS can, and should, make the call.

However, I believe it was on the catcher. She was up the line a little and in the base path. Not sure, but is seemed as if the runner was "forced" to slide early to avoid a collision.
