You can move for the DP just as easily from C as you can from B.

At one time (and maybe still today), FED had UIC taking BR to third on a triple, R2 to third on a fly ball (R2 only or R1 and R2), R2 to third on a ground ball (second play in the infield), R1 to third on a base hit (with R1 only or R1 and R3).

Some of those (second play in the infield, for example) have been back and forth throught the years in OBR mechanics as well.

Either way is workable, as long as all umpires are working the same mechanics.
