[MCPE-61320] Multiplayer with 2 characters with png skins swap textures when in proximity of each other

Both my fiance and I use custom PNGs for skins in multiplayer that we downloaded from minecraftskins:

Me: https://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/13617664/sora/
Her: https://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/13766199/yoshi/ (likely)

If I join the server and we are a large distance from each other, the game shows the correct skin for us both. However, if we move into the distance where our characters are visible to each other, the skin swaps to what the other sees. Once the skin is swapped, we can no longer see our skins in inventory or in third person, but we can see our skins in the model when we hit escape.

There is an obvious bug with skin loading that you've recently added in either 1.14.0 or 1.14.1, as we have only recently noticed this issue.

Note that if I use one of the new skin models that I have to build, and she continues to use her custom skin, it does not swap textures.

We have tried deleting all other profile characters as well, to no avail.

Ignore the resource pack issues with some of the screencaps, we disabled all resource packs and the problem existed with or without them.

I've been getting issues like this a lot too... my bro and i sometimes use custom png skins and we'll just swap them whenevr we got close. When im playing in multiplayer servers as well as, for some reason, I'll just swap skins with a random person and sometimes with multiple people (i'll see many me's running around). At first, I thought it was just me who could see this bug but some of them told me they could see it on their end as well...it doesn't even need to be a custom png skin, ive swapped skins with people who bought theirs from the store.

I have the same problem. I tested the distance where this happens and this was the result: When the distance between 2 players is more than 80 blocks everything is fine. When the distance is exactly 80 blocks or less our skins swap. I hope I'm able to help with this information that I've tested multiple times.
