IMO the 'C' has always been an odd prefix to use anyway as upon its introduction the A/B/C prefixes weren't in use for a number of years (Similar as to how Speke now use 79D again to mean 'Dale Street' four years after the original was withdrawn 2007/8). Especially from the Halton end where it was renumbered from 30.

if I remember correctly there was:
79A Liverpool - Lee Park
79B Liverpool - Bellevale/Caldway Drive (CMT service)
79C Liverpool - Caldway Drive (Due to the installation of the turn-around off Wood Lane)
79D Liverpool - Netherley via London Road (Later Bellevale/Netherley Wood Lane)
79E Queen Square Short Service (Used at times of overcrowding from Netherley)
79E Liverpool - Wavertree Clock Tower (Never officially used but was programmed for short running)
