Not exactly what you're looking for, but in the same ballpark, some
colloquial varieties of Malay/Indonesian offer a partial identity
between 3rd person plural and 1st person plural exclusive. The
partial identity is based on the strategy of combining a pronoun
with the common noun 'orang' (person). In several dialects
PRO-orang (sometimes subsequently reduced) forces a plural
interpretation on a pronoun that is otherwise singular or unmarked
for number. And in a subset of those dialects, 1PL.INCL-orang
derives a 1st person exclusive pronoun. Thus, 3rd person and 1st
exclusive, although not completely identical, share the common
element 'orang'.<br>
<br>
For example, in colloquial Kuala Lumpur Malay:<br>
<br>
kita - 1PL.INCL<br>
dia - 3SG<br>
<br>
kita orang - 1PL.EXCL<br>
dia orang - 3PL<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">It is known that first plural
inclusive pronouns can be used for polite first- or
second-person reference in some languages. I am
searching for instances in any language in which a
first plural *exclusive* pronoun can be used for
polite *third*-person reference, or for instances in
which a third-person pronoun can be shown to originate
historically in a first plural exclusive pronoun.
Possible references are much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
