The American standard is logical: command and "and" are interchangeable:
"A and B and C"
"A, B, C"
"A, B and C"
The Oxford style is inconsistently, doubling up command and "and" in the last item.
This is silliness. There are two styles because English grammar is a not a precisely logical formal language.
Neither side is wrong; English is ambiguous.
