Number of diastereomer pairs of 1,3-dichloro-1,2,3-triphenylpropane

1,1',1''-(1,3-dichloropropane-1,2,3-triyl)tribenzene

How can I determine the number of possible pairs of diastereomers here?

My first guess was two: RR with RS and SS with RS. But what about the potential chirality center middle carbon? There are two identical branches attached to it; however, those two branches can change R/S. So, is it a chirality center?
