I don't believe the "C" had anything to do with "Cobra".

I gave the simple explanation...most people see the C as Cobra.

You're right it was the third product family to use the sequence...and, as such, was "C"

...but, it was no coincidence that:
"A" was for Ace
"B" was for Bristol
and...
"C" was for Cobra
