Technically, that's non-transitive - non-commutative would be A=B but B≠A.

(Also, it is mildly confusing to use an equality symbol to indicate a relationship which is not a mathematical equality relationship - i.e. reflexive, commutative, and transitive.)

(Also, a Sorites-paradox argument would suggest that identity is a matter of degree.)
