I agree: the c-sequence should be the first, and, in my opinion,
if should serve as index to the a- and b-sequence,
and show the duplicates this way:
6, 9, 15, 35, 36, 42, 48, 57, 63, 71, 72, 72, 75, 78, 90, 98, 100,
100, 120, 135, 141, 147, 147, 162, 195, 196, 204, 208, 215,
225, 225, 225, 243, ...
