The C64C utilized a reduced chip design, replaced the

3 voices instead of 4, don't remember if it was the white noise
channel that was dropped) and the VIC-II also received a new
chip revision.
I don't think any voices were dropped from the SID, it always had three
music voices plus white noise. The problem was that Commodore 'fixed' a
'bug' (aka feature) in the SID chip. This 'bug' had been used to play
digitized sound samples.
IIRC.
