It might be overtones/guitar harmonics he's hearing that leads him to believe it's a 12 string setup with the light e-strings.

C is 8th fret in open E.

It is actually in Nashville Tuning (as was Wild Horses) - which is just replacing the standard E A D G strings with those an octave higher (so - yes, like a 12 string without the low EADG strings).
The irony is that after all that effort and jabbering on the guy still doesn't play it quite right!
Keith never played it like that again anyway - so....

It's open E with a capo on the 8th fret.

Isn't it sometimes played in Open-G capoed at the 5th fret?

Yup, that’s been the arrangement from 1972 to the present.

During the recording of Wild Horses, Jim Dickinson said he asked Keith what chords he was playing. Bill Wyman came over and said, 'He doesn't know. He only knows where his fingers go.'
