Perhaps person C would turn into person A turned into person B.  In
other words, they would take on the appearance of person B for the
remainder of person A's hour, and then turn "back" into person A for
the remainder of his or her own hour.  After all, if Polyjuice Potion
is able to detect every aspect of a person's appearance from just one
hair, then it would probably be able to detect both the original and
tranformed characteristics of a person from the same hair.
